Shine in My Heart, Lord Jesus

Shine in my heart

Lord Je­sus

And lead me in­to light;

Dispel each cloud and sha­dow

And chase away my night;

Shine on my soul

O Je­sus

And warm me with Thy love

Oh

help me when I need Thee

Thy faith­ful­ness to prove.

Shine in my heart

Lord Je­sus;

I need Thee ev­ery day

To help me keep Thy sta­tutes

To walk the nar­row way;

Oh

leave me not

my Sav­ior

Or else I faint

I fall;

Come in Thy might and help me

When Thou dost hear me call.

Increase my faith

Lord Je­sus

May Thy dear pre­cious blood

Of sin com­plete­ly cleanse me

And make me pure and good;

Increase my love

O Je­sus

And bind my heart to Thee

So when my days are num­bered

Thy smile of love I’ll see.

And when the king of ter­rors

Shall stand across my way

Oh

help me to go for­ward

Regardless of his sway:

Thy rod and staff to help me

My safe­ty will en­sure

And with the Fa­ther’s fa­vor

I’ll rest in love se­cure.
