1. Thou art my life; if Thou but turn away, | |||
My life’s a thousand deaths: Thou art my way; | |||
Without Thee, Lord, I travel not, but stray. | |||
2. My light Thou art; without Thy glorious sight | |||
My eyes are darkened with perpetual night: | |||
My God, Thou art my way, my life, my light. | |||
3. Thou art my way; I wander, if Thou fly: | |||
Thou art my light: if hid how blind am I! | |||
Thou art my life: if Thou withdraw, I die. | |||
4. Disclose Thy sunbeams; close Thy wings and stay; | |||
See, see how I am blind, and dead, and stray, | |||
O Thou that art my light, my life, my way! | |||

1. Thou art my life; if Thou but turn away,
My life’s a thousand deaths: Thou art my way;
Without Thee, Lord, I travel not, but stray.
2. My light Thou art; without Thy glorious sight
My eyes are darkened with perpetual night:
My God, Thou art my way, my life, my light.
3. Thou art my way; I wander, if Thou fly:
Thou art my light: if hid how blind am I!
Thou art my life: if Thou withdraw, I die.
4. Disclose Thy sunbeams; close Thy wings and stay;
See, see how I am blind, and dead, and stray,
O Thou that art my light, my life, my way!
