Make me a man of light with my eyes set on Thee,
Thy rays of light divine—penetrate, enlighten me;
To see, to know the heavn'ly things,
To sense, to touch reality,
Thy Spirit, Lord, convey to me,
The depths of God my heart would see!

Remove the many veils that are now cov'ring me,
My heart I turn, O Lord—Spirit come and set me free!
The bondages and limits break,
That deeper mingling Thou would'st make;
Oh, may Thy life grow more today
Until Thy life fills all my ways.

Oh, may Thy life grow more today

When to Thy word I come, help me to contact Thee,
Be present, dear and fresh—let Thy speaking water me;
Oh, may my spirit, Spirit strike,
Thy Holy Word, a flame, ignite!
Thy present word to me make clear;
Thy secret things, Lord, I would hear.
