Author: L. W. Munhall Hymnal: Redemption Songs #101 (1889) Hymnal Title: Redemption Songs First Line: Give us light for life eternal Lyrics: 1 Give us light for life eternal;
Send us fire the dross to burn;
Let us know the joys supernal;
For thy love our spirits yearn.
Refrain:
Give us light,
Give us light,
Give us light for life eternal;
Send us fire the dross to burn.
2 Take our hearts, our wills, our passions,
Naught of self would we retain;
What we yield are thy possessions,
And, by yielding, Christ we gain. [Refrain]
3 All in all thou art unto us,
Light and fire, and joys and love;
Flood and burn, and thrill and fill us,
Seal us for the life above. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Give us light for life eternal]
Give Us Light
