Hymnal ‎#39

39. Light of those whose dreary dwelling

1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death,
Jesu, now Thyself revealing,
Scatter ev'ry cloud beneath.

2 Still we wait for Thine appearing;
Life and joy Thy beams impart,
Chasing all our doubts and cheering
Every meek and contrite heart.

3 Show Thy power in every nation,
O Thou Prince of peace and love!
Give the knowledge of salvation,
Fix our hearts on things above.

6 By Thine all-sufficient merit
Every burden'd soul release:
By the presence of Thy Spirit,
Guide us into perfect peace.
