Lord of Our Life, God Whom We Fear

lyricist: Samuel Smith, 1891
Composer: Virgil Taylor, 1850

Lord of our life

God whom we fear

Unknown

yet known; un­seen

yet near;

Breath of our breath

in Thee we live;

Life of our life

our praise re­ceive.

Thine eye de­tects the spar­row’s fall;

Thy heart of love ex­pands for all;

Our throb­bing life is full of Thee;

Throned in Thy vast in­fi­ni­ty.

Shine in our dark­ness

Light of light

Our minds il­lum­ine

dis­perse our night;

Make us re­spons­ive to Thy will;

Our souls with all Thy full­ness fill.

We love Thy name; we heed Thy rod;

Thy Word our law

O gra­cious God!

We wait Thy will; on Thee we call:

Our light

our life

our love

our all.
