- 1O Savior, bless us ere we go;Thy word into our minds instill,And make our lukewarm hearts to glowWith lowly love and fervent will.Thu life’s long day, and death’s dark night,O gentle Jesus, be our light.
- 2Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways rue absolution and release;And bless us, more than in past days,With purity and inward peace.Thu life’s long day, and death’s dark night,O gentle Jesus, be our light.
- 3Do more than pardon: give us joy,Sweet fear, and sober liberty,And loving hearts without alloyThat only long to be like Thee.Thu life’s long day, and death’s dark night,O gentle Jesus, be our light.
