Supreme and universal light!

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #279 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Character and Life, In General Lyrics: 1 Supreme and universal light! Fountain of reason! Judge of right! Without whose kind, directing ray, In everlasting night we stray: 2 Assist us, Lord, to act, to be, What all thy sacred laws decree; Worthy that intellectual flame, Which from thy breathing spirit came. 3 No slave to profit, shame, or fear, O may our steadfast bosoms bear The stamp of heav'n, an honest heart, Above the mean disguise of art! 4 May our expanded souls disclaim The narrow view, the selfish aim; But with a Christian zeal embrace Whate’er is friendly to our race. 5 O Father! grace and virtue grant: No more we wish, no more we want: To know, to serve thee, and to love, Is peace below, is bliss above.
