OUR LIFE, OUR LIGHT.

By Oliver Wendell Holmes

SUN of our life, Thy quickening ray Sheds on our path the glow of day. Star of our hope, Thy softened light Cheers the long watches of our night.
Lord of all life! below, above, Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love, Before thy ever-blazing throne We ask no luster of our own.
Grant us thy truth to make us free, And kindling hearts that burn for thee, Till all thy living altars claim One holy light, one heavenly flame. —Oliver Wendell Holmes.
