|
<p>O Christ, our true and only Light,<br>
|
|
Illumine those who sit in night;<br>
|
|
Let those afar now hear Thy voice,<br>
|
|
And in Thy fold with us rejoice.</p>
|
|
<p>And all who else have strayed from Thee,<br>
|
|
O gently seek; Thy healing be<br>
|
|
To every wounded conscience given;<br>
|
|
And let them also share Thy heaven.</p>
|
|
<p>O make the deaf to hear Thy Word;<br>
|
|
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,<br>
|
|
Who dare not yet the faith avow<br>
|
|
Though secretly they hold it now.</p>
|
|
<p>Shine on the darkened and the cold;<br>
|
|
Recall the wanderers to Thy fold;<br>
|
|
Unite those now who walk apart;<br>
|
|
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.</p>
|
|
<p>So they with us may evermore<br>
|
|
Such grace with wondering thanks adore,<br>
|
|
And endless praise to Thee be given<br>
|
|
By all the Church in earth and heaven.</p>
