Eternal Light, shine in my heart

Eternal light, shine in my heart,
eternal hope, lift up my eyes;
eternal power, be my support,
eternal wisdom, make me wise.

2. Eternal life, raise me from death,
eternal brightness, make me see;
eternal Spirit, give me breath,
eternal Saviour, come to me:

3. Until by your most costly grace,
invited by your holy word,
at last I come before your face
to know you, my eternal God.
