Light, that from the dark abyss
Madest all things, none amiss,
To share Thy beauty, share Thy bliss,
Come to us: come.
Light, that dost o’er all things reign,
Light that dost all life maintain;
O Light, that dost create again,
Come to us: come.
Light of men, that left the skies,
Light that look’d through human eyes,
And died in darkness as man dies,
Come to us: come.
Light that stoop’d to rise and raise,
Soar’d to God above our gaze,
And still art with us all the days,
Come to us: come.
Light that makest manifest,
Beautifiest, hallowest,
Light in Thy joyous strength at rest,
Come to us: come.
Leave us not to say we see,
While we shut our eyes to Thee,
Who knockest very patiently:
Enter, and come.
All our good is Thine alone;
All our evil is our own;
Oh drive it from before Thy throne;
Come to us: come.
Works of darkness put away;
With Thy harness us array
To walk in light and wait for day,
And Thee to come.
We have done great wrong to Thee,
Yet we do belong to Thee;
Oh make our life one song to Thee.
Come to us: come.
Come in all the majesty
Of Thy great humility;
Come, the whole world cries out to Thee,
Come to us: come. Amen.
