Author: E. B. Birks Hymnal: Laudes Domini #305 (1890) First Line: Light, that from the dark abyss Lyrics: 1 Light, that from the dark abyss
Madest all things, none amiss,
To share thy beauty, share thy bliss,
Come to us: come.
2 Light, that dost o'er all things reign,
Light that dost all life maintain;
O Light, that dost create again,
Come to us: come.
3 Light of men, that left the skies,
Light that looked thro' human eyes,
And died in darkness as man dies,
Come to us: come.
4 Light that stooped to rise and raise,
Soared to God above our gaze,
And still art with us all the days,
Come to us: come.
5 We have done great wrong to thee,
Yet we do belong to thee;
Oh, make our life one song to thee,
Come to us: come. Topics: Christian Experience; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin; Backsliding; Christians Conflicts; Conflict With Sin Languages: English Tune Title: VENI LUX
