Christ My Song - 553

Light of life, so softly shining - Light of life
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Light of life.

1. Light of life, so softly shining
  from the blood-besprinkled tree,
never weaning nor declining,
      shine, shine on me! (PDF - Midi)

2. Light of life, so sweetly gleaming
  down upon our troubled sea,
with the love of Jesus beaming,
      shine, shine on me!

3. Light of life, that knows no fading;
  from all changes thou art free.
Holy Light, that knows no shading,
      shine, shine on me!

4. Light of life, that knows no setting,
  day and night thy beams we see,
joy and peace in us begetting,
      shine, shine on me!

5. Light of life, in childhood's gladness,
  to thy radiance we would flee;
be our strength in days of sadness,
      shine, shine on me!

6. Light of life, all health bestowing,
  lift we up our eyes to thee;
from the cross of Jesus flowing,
      shine, shine on me!

Horatius Bonar, The Song of the New Creation, 1872, 87-88.
