1. O Everlasting Light,
    Shine graciously within;
    Brightest of all on earth that's bright,
    Come, shine away my sin.

  2. O Everlasting Truth,
    Truest of all that's true,
    Sure guide of erring age or youth,
    Lead me, and teach me too.

  3. O Everlasting Strength,
    Uphold me in the way;
    Bring me, in spite of foes, at length
    To joy and light of day.

  4. O Everlasting Love,
    Wellspring of grace and peace,
    Pour down Thy fulness from above,
    Bid doubt and trouble cease.

  5. O Everlasting Rest,
    Lift off life's load of care;
    Relieve, revive this burdened breast
    And every sorrow bear.

  6. Thou art in heaven our all,
    Our all on earth art Thou;
    Upon Thy glorious Name we call,
    Lord Jesus, bless us now.
