Lyrics:
(words by Rabindranath Tagore music and adaptation into English by Paramhansa Yogananda)
In my house, with Thine own hands,
Light the lamp of Thy love!
In my house, with Thine own hands,
Light the lamp of Thy love!
Thy transmuting lamp entrancing,
Thy transmuting lamp entrancing,
Wondrous are its rays.
Change my darkness to Thy Light, Lord!
Change my darkness to Thy light, and my evil into good.
Touch me but once and I will change,
Touch me but once and I will change
All my clay into Thy gold.
All the sense lamps that I did light sooted into worries.
Sitting at the door of my soul,
Sitting at the door of my soul,
Light Thy resurrecting lamp.
(Cosmic Chants, 1938 Edition)
