Tune: Lux Benigna
('Lead, kindly light')
Based on a prayer by St Jerome (c.342-420AD)
*********
Lord, you have given to us your Word for
A light for sure
A light to shine upon our path to show
The way to go
Grant us so on that word to meditate
To follow its teaching so wise and great
So that we may find in it the true light
That shines e'er bright
Shines more and more until the prefect day
Showing your way
Through Jesus Christ our Lord we ask humbly
Come light the way, then we may clearly see
