Light of Light, Enlighten Me Lyrics

Light of light, enlighten me
Now anew the day is dawning
Sun of grace, the shadows flee
Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning

Fountain 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
With Thy joyous sunshine blest
Happy is my day of rest

With Thy joyous sunshine blest
Happy is my day of rest

Light of light, Sun of grace
Fountain of all our joy and peace

Kindle thou the sacrifice
That upon my lips is lying
Clear the shadows from my eyes
That, from every error flying

No strange fire may in me glow
That Thine altar doth not know

Light of light, Sun of grace
Fountain of all our joy and peace

Hence all care, all vanity
For the day to God is holy

Come, Thou glorious majesty
Deign to fill this temple lowly

Let me with my heart today
Holy, Holy, Holy singing
Rapt awhile from earth away
All my soul to Thee upbringing

Rest in me, and I in Thee
Build a paradise within me
O reveal Thyself to me
Blessed Love, who diedst to win me

Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship Thee in heaven

Fed from Thine exhaustless urn
Pure and bright my lamp shall burn

Light of light, Sun of grace
Fountain of all our joy and peace
