HYMN 116.
[Once was our Candle lighted, Lord]
Prov. 20. 27. The Spirit of a Man is the Candle of the Lord, &c.
Once was our Candle lighted, Lord,
And did most clearly burn;
But soon did Satan blow it out,
And we were all undone:
And did most clearly burn;
But soon did Satan blow it out,
And we were all undone:
Left in the darkness of the night,
And were bewilder'd so,
That we for want of thy sweet light
Knew not which way to go.
And were bewilder'd so,
That we for want of thy sweet light
Knew not which way to go.
273
O let our Candle lighted be!
O light it once again,
And by it search to find out sin
Which may in us remain.
O light it once again,
And by it search to find out sin
Which may in us remain.
'Tis thou must light our Candle, Lord,
With th'Fire of thy Grace;
O let it burn and ne're go out
Till we have run our race;
With th'Fire of thy Grace;
O let it burn and ne're go out
Till we have run our race;
That in thy sight we may see light,
And thereby may rejoyce,
And sing thy Praises day and night
With heart and chearful voice.
And thereby may rejoyce,
And sing thy Praises day and night
With heart and chearful voice.
