Father of light! conduct our feet

Through life’s dark, dangerous road;

Let each advancing step still bring

Us nearer to our God.

Let heaven-eyed prudence be our guide;

And when we go astray,

Recall our feet from folly’s paths

To wisdom’s better way.

That heavenly wisdom from above

Abundantly impart;

And let it guard, and guide, and warm,

And penetrate each heart;

Till it shall lead us to Thyself,

Fountain of bliss and love!

And all our darkness be dispersed

In endless light above.
