O Grant Us Light
Lawrence Tuttiett (1864) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 43:3
Verse 1
O grant us light, that we may know The wisdom Thou alone canst give; That truth may guide where'er we go, And virtue bless where'er we live.
Verse 2
O grant us light, that we may see Where error lurks in human lore. And turn our doubting minds to Thee, And love Thy simple word the more.
Verse 3
O grant us light, that we may learn How dead is life from Thee apart, How sure is joy for all who turn To Thee an undivided heart.
Verse 4
O grant us light, in grief and pain, To lift our burdened hearts above, And count the very cross a gain, And bless our Father's hidden love.
Verse 5
O grant us light, when, soon or late, All earthly scenes shall pass away. In Thee to find the open gate To deathless home and endless day.
