  1. 1O grant us light, that we may knowThe wisdom Thou alone canst give;That truth may guide where-e’er we go,And virtue bless where-e’er we live.O grant us light, that we may seeWhere error lurks in human lore,And turn our doubting minds to Thee,And love Thy simple Word the more.
  2. 2O grant us light, that we may learnHow dead is life from Thee apart,How sure is joy for all who turnTo Thee an undivided heart.Amen.
