101. Give Us Light

1 Give us light for life eternal;
Send us fire the dross to burn;
Let us know the joys supernal;
For thy love our spirits yearn.

Refrain:
Give us light,
Give us light,
Give us light for life eternal;
Send us fire the dross to burn.

2 Take our hearts, our wills, our passions,
Naught of self would we retain;
What we yield are thy possessions,
And, by yielding, Christ we gain. [Refrain]

3 All in all thou art unto us,
Light and fire, and joys and love;
Flood and burn, and thrill and fill us,
Seal us for the life above. [Refrain]
