Lord,give us light Thy truth to see, And make us wise in know-ing Thee. Amen. 2 We have not feared Thee as we ought, 3 We have not loved Thee as we ought, Nor cared that we are loved by Thee; Thy presence we have coldly sought, And feebly longed Thy face to see. 4 We have not served Thee as we ought; Alas! the duties left undone, The work with little fervor wrought, The battles lost, or scarcely won! Lord, give the zeal, and give the might, For Thee to toil, for Thee to fight. 5 When shall we know Thee as we ought, And fear, and love, and serve aright! When shall we, out of trial brought, Be perfect in the land of light! Lord, may we day by day prepare To see Thy face, and serve Thee there. THOMAS B. POLLOCK, 1889 |
