Deepen, Lord, the light divine, In this darkened heart of mine; On my inmost spirit shine, Radiance of th’ Eternal Trine! Deepen, Lord, the life divine, In this barren heart of mine;— As the branch is to the vine, Hangs my helpless soul on Thine. Deepen, Lord, the love divine, In this lonely heart of mine; Surest seal and sweetest sign,— There thy perfect peace enshrine. Light, and life, and love, Thou art;— With thy grace, Thyself impart; Rest and Rapture of the heart, Come, and nevermore depart.
