Shine Thou upon us, Lord
- Shine Thou upon us, Lord,
True Light of men, today,
And through the written Word
Thy very self display;
That so from hearts 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 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.

Jan. 19, 2003Filip S. SyrekReading, United KingdomI am so glad to have brothers and sisters in the church life! You know why? - few of them recently "discovered" this beautiful hymn for me! I went much into the depths of it by researching the Bible to support every sentence with verses. This is wonderful experience of studying the hymns and a real exercise I enjoy! Oh, after doing this the hymn becomes so sweet and personal and the riches really flow from every word! This particular hymn caught me with its brightness, lightness and so beautiful a tune. Oh, He is working on us by shining, breathing, speaking and living in us so that all of His Person and possessions as the Life-giving Spirit could be wrought into us for our faithful service to hasten His return. Lord, grant us full days of the growth in life and may each day count in your economy!
