Light of light, enlighten me

Author: B. Schmolk Hymnal: LHPN1913 #33 (1913) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Light of light, enlighten me, Now anew the day is dawning; Sun of grace, the shadows flee, Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning; With Thy joyous sunshine blest, Happy is my day of rest! 2 Fount of all our joy and peace, To Thy living waters lead me; Thou from earth my soul release, And with grace and mercy feed me; Bless Thy word, that it may prove Rich in fruits that Thou dost love. 3 Kindle Thou the sacrifice That upon my lips is lying; Clear the shadows from mine eyes, That, from every error flying, No strange fire may in me glow That Thine altar doth not know. 4 Let me with my heart today, Holy, holy, holy singing, Rapt awhile from earth away, All my soul to Thee upspringing, Have a foretaste, inly given, How they worship Thee in heaven. 5 Rest in me and I in Thee, Build a paradise within me; O reveal Thyself to me, Blessed Love, who died'st to win me; Fed from Thine exhaustless urn, Pure and bright my lamp shall burn. 6 Hence all care, all vanity, For the day to God is holy: Come, Thou glorious Majesty, Deign to fill this temple lowly; Naught to-day my soul shall move, Simply resting in thy love.
