Lyics

THOU source of life and light,

When in thy word we read

The wondrous love to mortals given,

To save us in our need,



Our hearts to thee we turn,

In gratitude and love,

That when no other power could save,

Thy Son came from above.



O gracious gift of God-

His love to manifest

To sinful man, that he may turn

And be forever blest!



Our Father and our God,

Accept our grateful praise;

Help us, that we may always live

And walk in wisdom's ways.
