A HYMN OF SUPPLICATION.
I.
Light of the world, when gloomy fears oppress,
When darkness shrouds us here,
Shine, and the desolate with comfort bless,
The sad in spirit cheer.
Break through the clouds, thy smile on earth shall be
As Heaven on earth begun—
Arise, thy beams of mercy let us see,
O God, our Sun!
When darkness shrouds us here,
Shine, and the desolate with comfort bless,
The sad in spirit cheer.
Break through the clouds, thy smile on earth shall be
As Heaven on earth begun—
Arise, thy beams of mercy let us see,
O God, our Sun!
Fort of defence, whereto in ages past
Thy saints for safety fled,
Be thou a shelter from the stormy blast,
From snares around us spread.
Be still a refuge for the weary feet
Of this thy praying flock;
Be unto us a shadow from the heat,
O God, our rock!
Thy saints for safety fled,
Be thou a shelter from the stormy blast,
From snares around us spread.
Be still a refuge for the weary feet
Of this thy praying flock;
Be unto us a shadow from the heat,
O God, our rock!
