618. Through Love to Light

Through love to light! O wonderful the way
That leads from darkness to the perfect day;
From darkness and from sorrow of the night
To morning that comes singing o’er the sea!
Through love to light through light, O God, to Thee
Who art the Love of love, th’eternal Light of light!

Amen.
