Light of the world,
faint were our weary feet
With wandering far;
But Thou didst come
our lonely hearts to greet,
O Morning Star;
And Thou didst bid us
lift out gaze on high,
To see the glory of the glowing sky.
In days long past we missed
out homeward way;
We could not see;
Blind were our eyes,
our feet were bound to stray:
How blind to Thee!
But Thou didst pity,
Lord, our gloomy plight;
And Thou didst touch out eyes,
and give them sight.
Now hallelujahs rise along the road
Our glad feet tread;
Thy love hath shared
our sorrow�s heavy load;
There�s light o�erhead:
Glory to Thee whose love
hath led us on,
Glory for all the great things
Thou hast done.
Where is death�s sting,
where grave, thy victory,
Where all the pain,
Now that thy King the veil
that hung o�er thee
Hath rent in twain?
Light of the world,
we hear Thee bid us come
To light and love in
Thine eternal home.
