O Grant Us Light, That We May Know

JOHN BAPTISTE CALKIN

1. O grant us light, that we may know The wisdom Thou alone canst give;

That truth may guide where'er we go, And vir-tue bless where'er we live. A-men.

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.

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.

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.

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. Amen.

Rivers to the ocean run,

Nor stay in all their course;
Fire, ascending, seeks the sun;
Both speed them to their source;
So a soul, that's born of God,
Pants to view His glorious face,
Upward tends to His abode,
To rest in His embrace.
