O Light of life, O Savior dear,
Before we sleep, bow down Thine ear;
Through dark and day, o�er land and sea,
We have no other hope but Thee.
Oft from Thy royal
road we part,
Lost in the mazes of the heart;
Our lamps put out, our course forgot,
We seek for God, and find Him not.
What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight!
What dawning risen upon the night!
Thou giv�st Thyself to us, and we
Find Guide and Path and all in Thee.
Through day and darkness, Savior dear,
Abide with us, more nearly near;
Till on Thy face we lift our eyes,
The Sun of God�s own paradise.
Praise God, our Maker and our Friend;
Praise Him through time, till time shall end;
Till psalm and song His Name adore
Through heaven�s great day of evermore.
