Author: Alcuin, 735-804; Christopher Idle, 1938- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #567 (1997) Lyrics: 1 Eternal light, shine in my heart;
eternal hope, lift up my eyes;
eternal power, be my support;
eternal wisdom, make me wise.
2 Eternal life, raise me from death;
eternal brightness, make me see;
eternal Spirit, give me breath;
eternal Saviour, come to me.
3 Until by your most costly grace,
invited by your holy Word,
at last I come before your face
to know you, my eternal God.
