Shine on Me, O Lord Jesus!

Shine on me

O Lord Je­sus

And let me ev­er know

The grace that shone from Cal­va­ry

Where Thou didst love me so.

My child

I am thy Sav­ior

’Tis not what thou dost feel

But Mine own gra­cious pro­mise

Which does thy par­don seal.

Shine in me

O Lord Je­sus

And let Thy search­ing light

Reveal each hid­den pur­pose

Each thought as in Thy sight.

My child

I am thy Search­er

I try each lov­ing heart

For I would have most ho­ly

All who in Me have part.

Shine through me then

Lord Je­sus

That all the world may see

The life I live is Thy life

And thus be drawn to Thee.

My child

I am thy pow­er;

With those who hear My voice

I ev­er dwell

and use them

Thus mak­ing them re­joice.

Shine out

shine out

Lord Je­sus;

Thou light of all the world;

O let Thy Gos­pel ban­ner

Be ev­ery­where un­furled.

My child

hast thou for­got­ten

That name is al­so thine?

My fruit is borne on branch­es

Not by the par­ent vine.

Arise and shine

Lord Je­sus

Thou Bright and Morn­ing Star;

I long for Thine ap­pear­ing

When peace shall fol­low war.

My child

be­fore I ga­ther

My fa­mi­ly in one

Its num­ber needs com­plet­ing;

Towards thus

what hast thou done?

Alas

al­as

Lord Je­sus

My life has been but vain

How lit­tle sa­tis­fact­ion

Have I brought for Thy pain!

My child

I still de­sire thee;

Go

spread the news afar;

Then shalt thou shine in Heav­en

With glo­ry like a star.
