Hymn 426
| | SUBJECT: LONGINGS—FOR LIGHT |
| METER: 6.6.6.6. with chorus. |
| AUTHOR: Witness Lee |
| COMPOSER: William H. Doane |
| 1 | Remove my covering, Lord, |
| | That I may see Thy light, |
| | And be deceived no more, |
| | But all things see aright. |
| Chorus |
| | | Oh, may Thy living light, Lord, |
| | | Scatter all my night, Lord, |
| | | And everything make bright, Lord, |
| | | For this I pray to Thee. |
| 2 | I hardly know myself; |
| | Deceived so much by pride, |
| | I often think I’m right |
| | And am self-satisfied. |
| 3 | I know Thee even less; |
| | In doctrine, shallowly; |
| | True revelation lack |
| | Of Thy reality. |
| 4 | As for Thy life within, |
| | In darkness I mistake- |
| | If spirit or the flesh, |
| | One for the other take. |
| 5 | As for Thy way, O Lord, |
| | I often am not clear; |
| | I toward seclusion tend |
| | And from the pathway veer. |
| 6 | As for Thy will for me, |
| | I do not know it well; |
| | I substitute my own |
| | And often would rebel. |
| 7 | As for the church, I need |
| | Thy revelation more, |
| | The Body-life to know, |
| | Thy wisdom to explore. |
| 8 | I long to be unveiled, |
| | In everything made clear, |
| | No more to be deceived |
| | Or to my pride adhere. |
