1.  Lord, I open to Your light

    That I vanquished be.

    Mend with balm anointing life;

    Build Yourself in me,

    And adorn my being.

2.  I would walk as if one blind,
    Faith my only guide,
    Understanding cast behind,
    As a veil of night,
    That I know real sight.

3.  Sun of revelation, rise!
    Gush, O vital stream!
    That by light and flowing life,
    Living I would be,
    Fully one with Thee.

4.  Fruit most fragrant may You find,
    Bursting with Your life,
    Fully ready, wholly ripe,
    Pleasing in Your sight;
    You I would delight.

5.  Come, dear hand of mercy, bring
    Grace full supply!
    For a love-filled out-pouring
    Of my very life
    On Your Body, Christ.
