1 Light, that from the dark abyss
Madest all things, none amiss,
To share Thy beauty, share Thy bliss,
Come to us: come.

2 Light, that dost o'er all things reign,
Light that dost all life maintain;
O Light, that dost create again,
Come to us: come.

3 Light of men, that left the skies,
Light that looked through human eyes,
And died in darkness as man dies,
Come to us: come.

4 Light that stooped to rise and raise,
Soared to God above our gaze,
And still art with us all the days,
Come to us: come.

5 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.

Amen.
