Give Me, O Lord, Right Views of Thee
VERSE 1
Give me,
O Lord, right views of Thee,
Thy
glorious nature, love, and might;
And draw
my spirit’s eyes to see
The
things concealed from mortal sight;
And in
the soul which Thou hast wrought,
O
breathe the understanding thought.
VERSE 2
Give me,
O Lord, right views of Thee,
And of
myself and purpose here;
My life,
my end, and destiny,
My
secret dreams of hope and fear;
O Thou
Who standst behind it all,
To Thee
for light I look and call.
VERSE 3
Give me,
O Lord, right views of truth;
And give
me, too, the honest mind,
Which of
its freedom gives the proof
In sweet
forbearance broad and kind;
Which
will not barter, slight, or sell
The
truth it sees, but guard it well.
VERSE 4
Give me,
O Lord, right views of truth;
Thy all
discerning Spirit give,
To bring
light in earliest youth
Thy
living words by which men live;
Of all
Thy gifts, I pray, impart
A wise
and understanding heart.
