Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #172 (1972) Scripture: John 8:12 First Line: O everlasting Light! Lyrics: 1 O everlasting Light!
Shine graciously within;
Brightest of all on earth that's bright,
Come, shine away my sin.
2 O everlasting Truth!
Truest of all that's true;
Sure guide of erring age or youth,
Lead me, and teach me too.
3 O everlasting Strength!
Uphold me in the way;
Bring me, in spite of foes, at length
To joy, and light, and day.
4 O everlasting Love;
Wellspring of grace and peace,
Pour down Thy fullness from above,
Bid doubt, and trouble cease.
5 O everlasting Rest!
Lift off life's load of care;
Relieve, revive this burdened breast,
And ev'ry sorrow bear.
7 Thou art in heav'n our all;
Our all on earth art Thou;
Upon Thy glorious name we call:
Lord Jesus, bless us now. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Jesus Christ Light Languages: English Tune Title: O EVERLASTING LIGHT
