Hymns Supplied Through the Gracious Generosity
of the Cyber Hymnal Website
Words: John Armstrong, The Pastor in His Closet, 1847.
Music: "Solothurn," traditional Swiss melody
O Thou Who makest souls to shine
With light from brighter worlds above,
Now send Thy glistening dew divine
On all who seek a Savior's love!
Do Thou Thy benediction give
On all who teach, on all who learn,
That all Thy Church may holier live,
And every lamp more brightly burn.
Give those that teach pure hearts and wise,
Faith, hope, and love, all warmed by prayer;
Themselves first training for the skies,
They best will raise their people there.
O bless the shepherd, bless the sheep,
That guide and guided both be one-
One in the faithful watch they keep,
Until this hurrying life be done.
