Lord of Our Life, God Whom We Fear
Samuel Francis Smith • English
Primary Scripture: John 1:4
Verse 1
Lord of our life, God whom we fear, Unknown, yet known; unseen, yet near; Breath of our breath, in Thee we live; Life of our life, our praise receive.
Verse 2
Thine eye detects the sparrow’s fall; Thy heart of love expands for all; Our throbbing life is full of Thee, Throned in Thy vast infinity.
Verse 3
Shine in our darkness, Light of light, Our minds illumine, disperse our night; Make us responsive to Thy will, Our souls with all Thy fullness fill.
Verse 4
We love Thy Name; we heed Thy rod; Thy Word our law: O gracious God! We wait Thy will; on Thee we call: Our light, our life, our love, our all. AMEN.
