Tune: Nun Danket
('Now thank we all our God')
*******
A song from heart and soul
Arise within, not be dull
If heavy-hearted we
Help us, Lord, your light to see
You who do each heart know
Graces on us bestow
Turning from sin and shame
We glorify your name
A touch, an influence
Something of your presence sense
May we, e'en your Spirit
Who dwells within blest lives lit
By your light free and sure
The light of life e'ermore
Turning from dark to light
So illumined our sight
For things, tasks of each day
We ask for your power, pray
To serve acceptably
To know what your way, will be
Your promise not to leave
Us, 'tis true, no deceive
We frame our pleas to you
And offer praises true
We small, we here below
And yet with more ardent glow
May we in service shine
Fulfilling your plan divine
A gospel for to share
Help us leave fear and care
The seed on good soil sown
Yet some on path, thorns, stone
