Hymnal: Christian Hymns #33 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Lord of heavenly grace,
Thou brightness of Thy Father's face,
Thou fountain of eternal light,
Whose beams disperse the shades of night!
2 Come, holy Sun of heavenly love,
Send down Thy radiance from above,
And to our inmost hearts convey
The Holy Spirit's cloudless ray.
3 And we the Father's help will claim,
And sing the Father's glorious name:
His powerful succor we implore,
That we may stand, to fall no more.
4 May He our actions deign to bless,
And loose the bonds of wickedness,
From sudden falls our feet defend,
And guide us safely to the end.
5 May faith, deep-rooted in the soul,
The flesh subdue, the mind control:
May guile depart, and discord cease,
And all within be joy and peace.
6 Oh, hallowed thus be every day!
Let meekness be our morning ray,
And faithful love our noonday light,
And hope our sunset, calm and bright.
7 O Christ, with each returning morn
Thine image to our hearts is borne:
Oh, may we ever clearly see
Our Saviour and our God in Thee! Topics: Worship Morning; Christ Light; Light., prayed for; Prayer General Petition Languages: English Tune Title: LORD JESUS CHRIST, BE PRESENT NOW
