Stealing from the world away,
We are come to seek Thy face;
Kindly meet us, Lord, we pray;
Grant us Thy reviving grace.
Yonder stars that gild the sky
Shine with but a borrowed light;
We, unless Thy light be nigh,
Wander wrapt in gloomy night.
Sun of Righteousness, dispel
All our darkness, doubts, and fears;
May Thy light within us dwell
Till eternal day appears.
Warm our hearts in prayer and praise,
Lift our every thought above;
Hear the grateful songs we raise,
Fill us with Thy perfect love.
