Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11325 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: We bless th’eternal Source of light Lyrics: 1 We bless th’ eternal Source of light,
Who makes the stars to shine;
And, through this dark beclouded world,
Diffuseth rays divine.
2 We bless the churches’ sovereign king,
Whose golden lamps we are;
Fixed in the temples of His love
To shine with radiance fair.
3 Still be our purity be preserved;
Still fled with oil the flame;
And in deep characters inscribed
Our heavenly master’s name.
4 Then, while between our ranks He walks
And all our state surveys,
His smiles shall with new luster deck
The people of His praise. Languages: English Tune Title: LAFAYETTE
We Bless Th'Eternal Source Of Light
