O Christ, Our True and Only Light

Author: Johann Heerman, 1585-1647 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine 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, O Lord, whose secret minds, Some dark delusion hurts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, Oh, gently seek! thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them also share Thy heaven. 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 those who now 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. Topics: Epiphany Used With Tune: MENDON
