Lighten Mine Eyes

John Wesley • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 13:3

Verse 1

O Son of righteousness, With healing in thy wing, To my diseas'd, my fainting soul, Life and salvation bring.

Verse 2

These clouds of pride and sin dispel By thy all-piercing beam? Lighten mine eyes with faith, my heart With holy hope inflame.

Verse 3

My mind by thy all-quick'ning power, From low desires set free; Unite my scatter'd thoughts, and fix My love entire on thee.

Verse 4

Father, thy long-lost son receive: Saviour, thy purchase own; Blest Comforter, with peace and joy Thy new-made creature crown.

Verse 5

Eternal, undivided Lord, Co-equal One and Three, On thee all faith, all hope be plac'd, All love be paid to thee.
