Text: | Shine Thou upon us, Lord |
Author: | Rev. J. Ellerton |
Tune: | [Shine Thou upon us, Lord] |
Composer: | H. A. Callow |
1 Shine Thou upon us, Lord,
True Light of men, to-day,
And thro' the written Word
Thy very self display;
That so from hearts which burn
With gazing on Thy face
Thy little ones may learn
The wonders of Thy grace.
2 Breathe Thou upon us, Lord,
Thy Spirit's living flame,
That so with one accord
Our lips may tell Thy Name;
Give Thou the hearing ear,
Fix Thou the wandering thought,
That those we teach may hear
The great things Thou hast wrought.
3 Speak Thou for us, O Lord,
In all we say of Thee;
According to Thy Word
Let all our teaching be;
That so Thy lambs may know
Their own true Shepherd's voice,
Where'er He leads them go,
And in His love rejoice.
4 Live Thou within us, Lord;
Thy mind and will be ours;
Be Thou beloved, adored,
And served, with all our powers;
That so our lives may teach
Thy children what Thou art,
And plead, by more than speech,
For Thee with every heart.
Amen.
