I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light

I want to walk as a child of the light.
I want to follow Jesus.
God set the stars to give light to the world.
The star of my life is Jesus.
In him there is no darkness at all.
The night and the day are both alike.
The Lamb is the light of the city of God.
Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

I want to see the brightness of God.
I want to look at Jesus.
Clear Sun of Righteousness,
shine on my path,
and show me the way to the Father.
In him there is no darkness at all.
The night and the day are both alike.
The Lamb is the light of the city of God.
Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

I’m looking for the coming of Christ.
I want to be with Jesus.
When we have run with patience the race,
we shall know the joy of Jesus.
In him there is no darkness at all.
The night and the day are both alike.
The Lamb is the light of the city of God.
Shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

Sent Forth by God’s Blessing

Sent forth by God’s blessing,
Our true faith confessing,
The people of God
from his dwelling take leave.
The supper is ended. Oh, now be extended
The fruits of this service
in all who believe.

The seed of his teaching,
Receptive souls reaching,
Shall blossom in action for God and for all.
His grace did invite us,
His love shall unite us
To work for God’s kingdom
and answer his call.

With praise and thanksgiving
To God ever living,
The tasks of our ev’ry day life we will face.
Our faith ever sharing,
In love ever caring,
Embracing his children
of each tribe and race.

With your feast you feed us,
With your light now lead us;
Unite us as one in the life that we share.
Then may all the living
With praise and thanksgiving
Give honor to Christ
and his name that we bear.
