O EVERLASTING Light, On our dark souls now shine, Flood hearts and minds, and give us sight To look on things divine.
O everlasting Truth, Truest of all that’s true, Sure Guide of erring age and youth, Lead us, and teach us too.
O everlasting Health, From Whom all healing springs; Our happiness, our bliss, our wealth, To Thee our spirit clings.
O everlasting Love, Fountain of grace and peace, Pour down Thy fulness from above, Bid all contention cease.
O everlasting Strength, Uphold us in the way; Bring us through trials all at length To the eternal day.
Horatius Bonar, 1808-89‡
