Make me a man of light with my eyes set on Thee,
Verse 1
Make me a man of light with my eyes set on Thee, Thy rays of light divine—penetrate, enlighten me; To see, to know the heavn’ly things, To sense, to touch reality, Thy Spirit, Lord, convey to me, The depths of God my heart would see!
Verse 2
Remove the many veils that are now cov’ring me, My heart I turn, O Lord—Spirit come and set me free! The bondages and limits break, That deeper mingling Thou would’st make; Oh, may Thy life grow more today Until Thy life fills all my ways.
Verse 3
When to Thy word I come, help me to contact Thee, Be present, dear and fresh—let Thy speaking water me; Oh, may my spirit, Spirit strike, Thy Holy Word, a flame, ignite! Thy present word to me make clear; Thy secret things, Lord, I would hear.
