Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Luke 1:79 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Enlighten those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 Oh, gently call those gone astray That they may find the saving way! Let ev'ry conscience sore opprest In Thee find peace and heav'nly rest. 4 Oh, make the deaf to hear Thy Word And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold, Recall the wanderers to Thy fold. Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart, 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven. Amen. Topics: The Church Missions Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, MEIN'S
