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)

ABOUT PARAMHANSA YOGANANDA
Paramhansa Yogananda, born in 1893, was the first yoga master of India to take up permanent residence in the West. Yogananda arrived in America in 1920, and proceeded to travel throughout the United States on what he called his “spiritual campaigns.” Hundreds of thousands filled the largest halls in major American cities to see the yoga master from India. Yogananda continued to lecture and write up to his passing in 1952. Paramhansa Yogananda’s initial impact on the western culture was truly impressive. But his lasting spiritual legacy has been even greater. His *Autobiography of a Yogi*, first published in 1946, helped launch a spiritual revolution in the West. Translated into more than a dozen languages, it remains a best-selling spiritual classic to this day.
