Lyics

ETERNAL Source of life and light!

Supremely good and wise!

To Thee we bring our grateful vows,

To Thee lift up our eyes.



Our dark and erring minds illume

With truth's celestial rays;

Inspire our hearts with sacred love,

And tune our lips to praise.



Safely conduct us, by Thy grace,

Through life's perplexing road;

And place us, when that journey's o'er,

At Thy right hand, O God!
