Bright Torches

+

Bright torches in the darkest night,

The saints of God as lights yet shine.

Lord, let our witness rise with theirs,

And through their prayers give grace divine.

A dimly burning wick were we, 
But now our faith fills with thy fire

For thou art all consuming love —

Thy perfect will our hearts desire.

Unite thy saints through every age 
And cleansed from sin lift us above,

O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

One God in glory, one in love. Amen.
