1 Renew me, O eternal Light,
And let my heart and soul be bright,
Illumined with the light of grace
That issues from Thy holy face.
And let my heart and soul be bright,
Illumined with the light of grace
That issues from Thy holy face.
2 Destroy in me the lust of sin,
From all impureness make me clean,
O grant me power and strength, my God,
To strive against my flesh and blood.
From all impureness make me clean,
O grant me power and strength, my God,
To strive against my flesh and blood.
3 Create in me a new heart, Lord,
That gladly I obey Thy Word,
And naught but what Thou wilt, desire;
With such new life my soul inspire.
That gladly I obey Thy Word,
And naught but what Thou wilt, desire;
With such new life my soul inspire.
