Light of Life, Seraphic Fire

LIGHT of life, seraphic fire,

Love divine, thyself impart:

Every fainting soul inspire,

Shine in every drooping heart;

Every mournful sinner cheer,

Scatter all our guilty gloom;

Son of God, appear, appear!

To thy human temples come!

Come in this accepted hour;

Bring thy heavenly kingdom in;

Fill us with thy glorious power,

Rooting out the seeds of sin:

Nothing more can we require,

We will covet nothing less;

Be thou all our heart’s desire,

All our joy, and all our peace!
