Author: William Walsham How, 1823 - 97 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #56 (1958) 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. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: ROTTERDAM
