  *++Lyrics:|\\
Lord of our life, God whom we fear,\\
Unknown, yet known; unseen, yet near;\\
Breath of our breath, in Thee we live;\\
Life of our life, our praise receive.\\
\\
Thine eye detects the sparrow's fall;\\
Thy heart of love expands for all;\\
Our throbbing life is full of Thee;\\
Throned in Thy vast infinity.\\
\\
Shine in our darkness, Light of light,\\
Our minds illumine, disperse our night;\\
Make us responsive to Thy will;\\
Our souls with all Thy fullness fill.\\
\\
We love Thy Name; we heed Thy rod;\\
Thy Word our law, O gracious God!\\
We wait Thy will; on Thee we call:\\
Our light, our life, our love, our all.\\
