Representative Text

1 God of light that illumes all space,
God of glory and boundless grace,
from Thy wondrous abiding place,
shine, O shine in me.

Refrain:
Shine, shine in my heart, I pray,
shine out through my life each day;
Sun of righteousness, Light of truth,
shine in Thy glory in me.

2 Let the light that from heaven gleams,
fill my heart with its glowing beams,
till reflected, it outward streams—
shine, O shine in me. [Refrain]

3 Let Thine image in me appear,
light of holiness bright and clear;
light of faithfulness, free from fear,
shine, O shine in me. [Refrain]

4 Holy character all may view,
mercy, kindness, and patience, too:
grace and goodness each day renew—
shine, O shine in me. [Refrain]
