More Light, Lord

More light, Lord—
For the lonely grief
That blocks the way,
That plays the thief,
And wears away.

More light, Lord—
For the shadowed sight
That sinks the soul,
That finds no light,
And loses hold.

More light, Lord—
For the heavy heart
That aches for peace,
That falls apart,
Yet courage seeks.

Your Light, Lord—
For a view of Christ
That melts each fear,
That kindles life,
And dries all tears.

More light—
Your light, Lord.
