Eternal Light! Eternal Light!

Author: Thomas Binney Hymnal: RITL1985 #41 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal light! Eternal light! How pure that soul must be, when, placed within thy searching sight, it shrinks not, but with calm delight can live and look on thee. 2 The spirits that surround thy throne may bear the burning bliss; but that is surely theirs alone, since they have never, never known a fallen world like this. 3 O how shall I, whose native sphere is dark, whose mind is dim, before th'ineffable appear, and on my naked spirit bear the uncreated beam? 4 There is a way for us to rise to that sublime abode, an off'ring and a sacrifice, a Holy Spirit's energies, an Advocate with God. 5 These, these prepare us for the sight of holiness above; the heirs of ignorance and night may dwell in the eternal light, through the eternal Love!
