Eternal Source of Life and Light

lyricist: John Estlin, 1795
Composer: James Walch, 1860

Eternal source of life and light

Supremely good and wise

To Thee we bring our grate­ful vows;

Accept our sac­ri­fice.

Our dark and err­ing minds illume

With truth’s ce­les­ti­al rays;

Inspire our hearts with heav­en­ly love

And tune our lips to praise.

Safely con­duct us

by Thy truth

Through life’s per­plex­ing road;

And bring us

when our jour­ney’s o’er

Lord

to Thine abode.

For in Thy pre­sence e’er abounds

Fullness of pur­est joy;

At Thy right hand un­ceas­ing flow

Pleasures with­out al­loy.
