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.
