Let nought be left within<br />

But cometh <strong>of</strong> Thy h<strong>and</strong>;<br />

Root quickly out the weeds <strong>of</strong> sin,<br />

<strong>My</strong> cunning foe withst<strong>and</strong>.<br />

From <strong>The</strong>e comes nothing ill,<br />

'Tis he doth sow the tares;<br />

Make plain my path before me still,<br />

And save me from his snares.<br />

Thou art the Life, O Lord!<br />

Sole Light <strong>of</strong> Life Thou art1<br />

Let not Thy glorious rays be pour'd<br />

In vain on my dark heart.<br />

Star <strong>of</strong> the East, arise!<br />

Drive all my clouds away,<br />

Guide me till earth's dim twilight dies<br />

Into the perfect day!<br />
