|
<p>O Light, Whose beams illumine all<br>
|
|
From twilight dawn to perfect day,<br>
|
|
Shine Thou before the shadows fall<br>
|
|
That lead our wandering feet astray;<br>
|
|
At morn and eve Thy radiance pour<br>
|
|
That youth may love, and age adore.</p>
|
|
<p>O Way, through Whom our souls draw near<br>
|
|
To yon eternal home of peace,<br>
|
|
Where perfect love shall cast our fear,<br>
|
|
And earth’s vain toil and wandering cease;<br>
|
|
In strength or weakness may we see<br>
|
|
Our heavenward path, O Lord, through Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>O Truth, before Whose shrine we bow,<br>
|
|
Thou priceless Pearl for all who seek,<br>
|
|
To Thee our earliest strength we vow,<br>
|
|
Thy love will bless the pure and meek;<br>
|
|
When dreams or mists beguile our sight,<br>
|
|
Turn Thou our darkness into light.</p>
|
|
<p>O Life, the Well that ever flows<br>
|
|
To slake the thirst of those that faint,<br>
|
|
Thy power to bless what seraph knows?<br>
|
|
Thy joy supreme what words can paint?<br>
|
|
In earth’s last hour of fleeting breath<br>
|
|
Be Thou our Conqueror over death.</p>
|
|
<p>O Light, O Way, O Truth, O Life,<br>
|
|
O Jesus, born mankind to save,<br>
|
|
Give Thou Thy peace in deadliest strife,<br>
|
|
Shed Thou Thy calm on stormiest wave;<br>
|
|
Be Thou our hope, our joy, our dread,<br>
|
|
Lord of the living and the dead.</p>
