O Light of the world men walking in night
Who dwell in death’s shadow have seen a great light;
We answer with gladness to light that has shone
For with Thee is sunshine, and night-time has gone.
O Light of the world, this world knew Thee not,
Yet we are secured through the world Thou has wrought:
A world for God’s pleasure where Thou art the Sun,
Which we, by the Spirit, perceive has begun.
To give us the joy Thy presence imparts,
O Star of the morning arise in our hearts,
And help us in dwelling where all things are bright
Until the world dwells in the blaze of Thy light.
Who dwell in death’s shadow have seen a great light;
We answer with gladness to light that has shone
For with Thee is sunshine, and night-time has gone.
O Light of the world, this world knew Thee not,
Yet we are secured through the world Thou has wrought:
A world for God’s pleasure where Thou art the Sun,
Which we, by the Spirit, perceive has begun.
To give us the joy Thy presence imparts,
O Star of the morning arise in our hearts,
And help us in dwelling where all things are bright
Until the world dwells in the blaze of Thy light.
