Author: Bishop William Walsham How Hymnal: The Hymnal #137 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O one with God the Father
In majesty and might,
The Brightness of His glory,
Eternal Light of light,
O'er this our home of darkness
Thy rays are streaming now;
The shadows flee before Thee,
The world's true Light art Thou.
2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly:
O heavenly Light, arise!
Dispel these mists that shroud us,
And hide Thee from our eyes!
We long to track the footprints
That Thou Thyself hast trod:
We long to see the pathway
That leads to Thee our God.
3 O Jesus, shine around us
With radiance of Thy grace;
O Jesus, turn upon us
The brightness of Thy face.
We need no star to guide us,
As on our way we press,
If Thou Thy light vouchsafest,
O Sun of Righteousness.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Epiphany; Christ Epiphany; Christ Light, Our; Christ Presence, His Living; Christ Guide, Our; Christ Leader, Our; Epiphany; Processionals Tune Title: ROTTERDAM
