The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5264

5264. O One with God the Father

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 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.
