O Everlasting Light

Horatius Bonar • English

Primary Scripture: John 8:12

Verse 1

O everlasting Light! Shine graciously within; Brightest of all on earth that's bright, Come, shine away my sin.

Verse 2

O everlasting Truth! Truest of all that's true; Sure guide of erring age or youth, Lead me, and teach me too.

Verse 3

O everlasting Strength! Uphold me in the way; Bring me, in spite of foes, at length To joy, and light, and day.

Verse 4

O everlasting Love; Wellspring of grace and peace, Pour down Thy fullness from above, Bid doubt, and trouble cease.

Verse 5

O everlasting Rest! Lift off life's load of care; Relieve, revive this burdened breast, And ev'ry sorrow bear.

Verse 6

Thou art in heav'n our all; Our all on earth art Thou; Upon Thy glorious name we call: Lord Jesus, bless us now.
