Father of lights, in whom
there is no shadow,
giver of every good and perfect gift!
with one accord
we seek thy holy presence,
gladly our hearts
to thee in praise we lift.
Glad for the cause
that binds our lives together,
through thee united,
worshiping as one;
glad for the crowning gift
that thou hast given,
sending, to light the world,
thine only Son.
Light of the world, through whom
we know the Father!
pour out upon us thine abiding love,
that we may know its depth
and height and splendor,
that heaven may come
to earth from heaven above.
Thou art the Christ!
To thee we own allegiance.
may our devotion sweep
from sea to sea,
even as we, the gift
from thee receiving,
joyfully minister that gift for thee.
