1 Light of life, so softly shining
From the blood-besprinkled tree,
Never waning nor declining,
Shine on me, O shine on me!

Refrain:
Shine on me, O shine on me,
Light of Life, O shine on me.
With the love of Jesus beaming,
Shine on me, O shine on me.

2 Light of life, so sweetly gleaming
Down upon our troubled sea,
With the love of Jesus beaming,
Shine on me, O shine on me! [Refrain]

3 Light of life, that knows no fading;
From all changes Thou art free.
Holy Light, that knows no shading,
Shine on me, O shine on me! [Refrain]

4 Light of life, that knows no setting,
Day and night Thy beams we see,
Joy and peace in us begetting,
Shine on me, O shine on me! [Refrain]

5 Light of life, in childhood’s gladness,
To Thy radiance we would flee;
Be our strength in days of sadness,
Shine on me, O shine on me! [Refrain]

6 Light of life, all health bestowing,
Lift we up our eyes to Thee;
From the cross of Jesus flowing,
Shine on me, O shine on me! [Refrain]
