The Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#11

11. O Very God of Very God

1 O very God of very God,
And very Light of Light,
Whose feet this earth's dark valley trod,
That so it might be bright!

2 Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong,
Thick darkness binds our eyes;
Cold is the night, and O we long
For Thee, our Sun, to rise!

3 And even now, though dull and gray,
The east is brightening fast,
And kindling to the perfect day
That never shall be past.

4 O guide us till our path be done,
And we have reached the shore
Where Thou, our everlasting Sun,
Art shining evermore!

5 We wait in faith, and turn our face
To where the daylight springs,
Till Thou shalt come our gloom to chase,
With healing on Thy wings.

Amen.
