- Heavenly Father, send your light,
To us our dear children
That we ma worship and love you
From youth and all life through.
- We are miserable blind sinners,
We tread the ways of death;
In thought and even in our deeds
We are God’s enemies.
- But our friends, parents and guardians,
Help to keep us bridled,
They persuade us to seek your face
Which no one seeks in vain.
- We lift up eyes to the hills,
From whence salvation comes,
Thou Sun of Righteousness, arise
With healing in your wings.
- Arise, shine on this wretched world,
Go on shining for aye;
And until we grow old, do thou
Show us the Christian way. Amen.
