Christ My Song - 647

Stealing from the world away - Evening worship
(Ray Palmer/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Evening worship.

"In thy light shall we see light." (Psalm 36,9)

1. Stealing from the world away,
  we are come to see thy face;
kindly meet us, Lord, we pray,
  grant us thy reviving grace. (PDF - Midi)

2. Yonder stars that gild the sky
  shine but with a borrowed light;
we, unless thy light be nigh,
  wander, wrapped in gloomy night.

3. Sun of Righteousness, dispel
  all our darkness, doubts, and fears;
may thy light within us dwell
  till eternal day appears.

4. Warm our hearts in prayer and praise,
  lift our every thought above;
hear the grateful songs we raise,
  fill us with thy perfect love.

1834.
