1. Shine Thou upon us, Lord,
  True Light of men, today,
  And through the written Word
  Thy very self display;
  That so from hearts which burn
  With gazing on Thy face,
  Thy little ones may learn
  The wonders of Thy grace.
2. Breath Thou upon us, Lord,
  Thy Spirit's living flame,
  That so with one accord
  Our lips may tell Thy name;
  Give Thou the hearing ear,
  Fix Thou the wandering thought,
  That those we teach may hear
  The great things Thou has wrought.
3. Speak Thou for us, O Lord,
  In all we say of Thee;
  According to Thy Word
  Let all our teaching be;
  That so Thy lambs may know
  Their own true Shepherd's voice,
  Where'er He lead them go,
  And in His love rejoice.
4. Live Thou within us, Lord;
  Thy mind and will be ours;
  Be Thou beloved, adored,
  And served with all our powers;
  That so our lives may teach
  Thy children what Thou art,
  And plead, by more than speech,
  For Thee with every heart.
