While Here

1 Spirit of life and light,
Shine thro’ this weary night,
My path illume;
Show me the way to go,
Make me Thy will to know;
Dispel the gloom,
Dispel the gloom.

2 Comfort this heart, so worn,
So crushed by burdens borne,
Cast down so low;
Let Thy sweet peace console,
This weary, anxious soul,
Tossed to and fro,
Tossed to and fro.

3 Let holy hopes arise
Plainly before my eyes,
Hopes fixed on high;
Hopes that shall never fail;
Anchored within the veil,
Beyond the sky,
Beyond the sky.

4 Thus may I lifted be,
Out of my low degree,
On holy wings;
Kept ever in the way,
Aspiring day by day,
To higher things,
To higher things.
