14. Send Out Thy Light and Thy Truth

1 Send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me;
I let them bring me to Thy holy hill.
Send out Thy light and Thy truth, let them lead me;
O let them bring me to Thy holy hill.
O let them lead me,
O let them lead me;
O let them bring me to Thy holy hill.

O lead and guide me to Thy holy hill;
Lead me, O Lord, in the way everlasting;
O lead and guide me to Thy holy hill.

O do Thou guide me,
O lead and guide me to Thy holy hill.
