This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Shine Thou upon us, Lord,

    True Light of men, today,

    And through the written Word

    Thy very self display;

    That so from hearts which burn

    With gazing on Thy face,

    Thy little ones may learn

    The wonders of Thy grace.

 

 2  Breathe Thou upon us, Lord,

    Thy Spirit's living flame,

    That so with one accord

    Our lips may tell Thy name;

    Give Thou the hearing ear,

    Fix Thou the wandering thought,

    That those we teach may hear

    The great things Thou hast wrought.

 

 3  Speak Thou for us, O Lord,

    In all we say of Thee;

    According to Thy Word

    Let all our teaching be;

    That so Thy lambs may know

    Their own true Shepherd's voice,

    Where'er He lead them go,

    And in His love rejoice.

 

 4  Live Thou within us, Lord;

    Thy mind and will be ours;

    Be Thou beloved, adored,

    And served with all our powers;

    That so our lives may teach

    Thy children what Thou art,

    And plead, by more than speech,

    For Thee with every heart.
