Lift up the light of Your countenance
Upon us, LORD, upon us, LORD;
For You are the lamp that lights the darkness,
The brightness of our day.
Unfold the words of Your righteousness
Before us, LORD, before us, LORD;
For they are the light of understanding,
The brightness of our way.
Light of the world, shine the morning star
Into our hearts, into our hearts,
A lamp to our feet, still brighter, brighter
Until the perfect day.
– C. E. Couchman (2000); based on Psalms 4:6; 18:28; 119:129-130
