Lord, I open to Your light

Lord, I open to Your light That I’d vanquished be. Mend with balm anointing life; Build Yourself in me, And adorn my being.

I would walk as if one blind, Faith my only guide, Understanding cast behind, As a veil of night, That I’d know real sight.

Sun of revelation, rise! Gush, O vital stream! That by light and flowing life, Living I would be, Fully one with Thee.

Fruit most fragrant may You find, Bursting with Your life, Fully ready, wholly ripe, Pleasing in Your sight; You I would delight.

Come, dear hand of mercy, bring Grace’s full supply! For a love-filled out-pouring Of my very life On Your Body, Christ.
