SHINE THOU UPON US, LORD

Preach the Word  2 Tim 4:2

SHINE THOU UPON US, LORD   Ellerton, 1889

Shine Thou upon us, Lord, true Light of men, today,
And through the written Word Thy very self display,
That so from hearts  :HeartThrob: which burn with gazing on Thy face
Thy little ones may learn the wonders of Thy grace.

Breathe Thou upon us, Lord, Thy Spirit's living flame,
That so WITH ONE ACCORD OUR LIPS MAY TELL THY NAME.
Give Thou the hearing ear, fix Thou the wandering thought,
That those we teach may hear the great things Thou hast wrought.

Speak Thou for us, O Lord, in all we say of Thee;
According to Thy Word let all our teaching be,
That so Thy lambs may know their own true Shepherd's voice,
Where'er He leads them go, and in His love  :HeartThrob: rejoice.

Live Thou within us, Lord, Thy mind and will be ours;
Be Thou beloved, adored, and served with all our powers,
That  so our lives may teach Thy children what Thou art,
And plead, by more than speech, for Thee with every heart. :HeartThrob:

  Lovely  :HeartThrob:


Phl 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,

whatsoever things are honest,

whatsoever things are just,

whatsoever things are pure,

whatsoever things are lovely,

whatsoever things are of good report

if there be any virtue,

and if there be any praise,

think on these things.
