Verse 1
Light of life, seraphick fire,
Love divine, thyself impart,
Every fainting soul inspire,
Shine in every drooping heart,
Every mournful sinner chear,
Scatter all our guilty gloom;
Son of God appear, appear,
To thine human temples come.
Verse 2
Come in this accepted hour,
Bring thy heavenly kingdom in;
Fill us with the glorious power
Rooting out the seeds of sin:
Nothing more can we require,
We will covet nothing less:
Thou art all our heart’s desire,
All our joy, and all our peace.
Verse 3
Whom but thee have we in heaven,
Whom have we on earth but thee?
Only thou to us be given,
All besides is vanity;
Grant us love, we ask no more,
Every other gift remove;
Pleasure, fame, and wealth, and power,
Still we all enjoy in love.
