Keep me in the light my Jesus.
Keep me close to Thee –
Swooping, diving, falling, flying –
Keep my eyes ever fixed to see.
You, the pole of all the Universe,
You, the axis of my soul –
You, the Stationary Son –
The One we all need and know.
Let me orbit all my days –
Yours, the bright light above.
Let me absorb it, all your ways –
Yours, the sublime heights of Love.
Grant me a fierce humility –
That I may gently go –
Wherever You should call me,
To whatever You will show.
Help me to trust You, always first –
And bring to you all my actions –
I know you satisfy my souls great thirst.
There is no higher satisfaction.
You put understanding into my eyes,
And wisdom stirs my heart,
The only thing I could ever fear,
Is from You to depart.
So keep me in the light my Jesus –
Always near me stand –
For I never ever loved so dearly,
Such a faithful, loving man.
You, my brother Jesus,
You, my teacher, friend,
You, my companion pleases,
To eternity without end.
