Lighten the Darkness
VERSE 1
Lighten
the darkness of our life’s long night,
Through
which we blindly stumble to the day,
Shadows
mislead us; Father, send Thy light
To set
our footsteps in the homeward way.
VERSE 2
Lighten
the darkness of our self conceit,
The
subtle darkness that we love so well,
Which
shrouds the path of wisdom from our feet,
And
lulls our spirits with its baneful spell.
VERSE 3
Lighten
our darkness when we bow the knee
To all
the gods we ignorantly make
And
worship, dreaming that we worship Thee,
Till
clearer light our slumbering souls awake.
VERSE 4
Lighten
our darkness when we fail at last,
And in
the midnight lay us down to die;
We trust
to find Thee when the night is past,
And
daylight breaks across the morning sky.
