Horatius Bonar

O Everlasting Light,

O Everlasting Light,
Shine graciously within;
Brightest of all on earth that’s bright,
Come shine away my sin.
 
O Everlasting Truth,
Truest of all that’s true,
Sure guide of erring age or youth,
Lead me, and teach me too.
 
O Everlasting Strength,
Uphold me in the way;
Bring me, in spite of foes, at length
To joy and light and day.
 
O Everlasting Love,
Wellspring of grace and peace,
Pour down Thy fulness from above,
Bid doubt and trouble cease.
 
O Everlasting Rest,
Lift off life’s load of care;
Relieve, revive this burthened breast,
And every sorrow bear.
 
Thou art in heaven our all,
Our all on earth art Thou,
Upon Thy glorious Name we call,
Lord Jesus, bless us now.
