Author: G. Thring Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #613 (1913) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 True Light, that lightest all in heaven and ,
Light us Thou Light divine;
Children thou mad'st us by a second birth.
children, O Lord, of Thine;
Heirs of a life undying,
The hidden life above,
Strong on Thy strength relying,
Safe in a Father's love.
2 The earth, erewhile so oft bedewed with tears,
Shall be, like man, new-born;
The heavens--unrolled through unimagined years--
Be bright with endless morn;
No room is there for sorrow,
Toll, trouble, want, or care,
None anxious for the morrow,--
There is no morrow there.
3 Light there, eternal light and life shall reign
O'er all without, within;
No stricken soul e'er bow beneath the pain
Of unforgotten sing;
The day shall have no ending,
No night its shadows cast,
All present gladness blending
With gladness in the past.
4 We darkly now, as in a mirror, see
These wondrous worlds on high;
Help us, O Lord, to live our life in Thee,
The life that cannot die;
Till heavenward ever soaring,
By Thy redeeming grace,
Before Thy throne adoring
We see Thee face to face. Topics: The Last Things The Heavenly Home; The Last Things The Heavenly Home; Heaven Tune Title: [True Light, that lightest all in heaven and earth]
