Look upon us, blessèd Lord,
Take our wandering thoughts and guide us;
We have come to hear Thy Word,
With Thy teaching now provide us,
That, from earth’s distractions turning,
We Thy message may be learning.
For Thy Spirit's radiance bright
We, assembled here, are hoping;
If Thou shouldst withhold the light,
In the dark our souls were groping:
In each word and thought direct us:
Thou, Thou only, canst correct us.
Brightness of the Father's face,
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
Make us ready in this place;
Ear and heart await Thy leading.
Fill with life and inspiration
Every prayer and meditation.
---Alternative verses---
For Thy Spirit's radiance bright
We, assembled here, are hoping;
If Thou shouldst withhold the light,
In the dark our souls were groping:
In word, deed and thought direct us:
Thou, Thou other, canst correct us.
Brightness of the Father's face,
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
Make us ready in this place;
Ear and heart await Thy leading.
In our study, prayers and praising,
May our souls find their upraising.
