O Very God of Very God

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: HOoS1926 #11 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O very God of very God, And very Light of Light, Whose feet this earth's dark valley trod, That so it might be bright! 2 Our hopes are weak, our fears are strong, Thick darkness binds our eyes; Cold is the night, and O we long For Thee, our Sun, to rise! 3 And even now, though dull and gray, The east is brightening fast, And kindling to the perfect day That never shall be past. 4 O guide us till our path be done, And we have reached the shore Where Thou, our everlasting Sun, Art shining evermore! 5 We wait in faith, and turn our face To where the daylight springs, Till Thou shalt come our gloom to chase, With healing on Thy wings.
