Renew me, O eternal Light, And let my heart and soul be bright, Illumined with the light of grace That issues from your holy face. Destroy in me the lust of sin; From all impureness make me clean. Oh, grant me pow'r and strength, my God, To strive against my flesh and blood. Create in me a new heart, Lord, That gladly I obey your Word. Oh, let your will be my desire And with new life my soul inspire. Grant that I only you may love And seek those things which are above Till I behold you face to face, O Light eternal, through your grace.
