S.M.

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 of day.

4

O Everlasting Love,

Wellspring of grace and peace,

Pour down Thy fulness from above,

Bid doubt and trouble cease.

5

O Everlasting Rest,

Lift off life’s load of care;

Relieve, revive this burdened breast

And every sorrow bear.

6

Thou art in heaven our all,

Our all on earth art Thou;

Upon Thy glorious Name we call,

Lord Jesus, bless us now.
