O One With God the Father |
W. Walsham How, 1871
O one with God the Father In majesty and might, The brightness of his glory, Eternal Light of Light; O'er this our home of darkness Thy rays are streaming now; The shadows flee before thee, The world's true Light art thou. | 2. Yet, Lord, we see but darkly: O heavenly Light, arise! Dispel these mists that shroud us, And hide thee from our eyes! We long to track the footprints That thou thyself hast trod; We long to see the pathway That leads to thee, our God. |
3. O Jesus, shine around us With radiance of thy grace; O Jesus, turn upon us The brightness of thy face. We need no star to guide us, As on our way we press, If thou thy light vouchsafest, O Son of Righteousness. |
