The Hymnal ‎#606

606. O everlasting Light

1 O Everlasting Light,
Giver of dawn and day,
Dispeller of the ancient night
In which creation lay;

2 O Everlasting Light,
Shine graciously within;
Brightest of all on earth that's bright,
Come, shine away my sin.

3 O Everlasting Truth,
Truest of all that's true,
Sure guide of erring age and youth,
Lead me, and teach me too.

4 O Everlasting Strength,
Uphold me in the way;
Bring me, in spite of foes, at length
To joy and light and day.

5 O Everlasting Love,
Wellspring of grace and peace,
Pour down Thy fulness from above,
Bid doubt and trouble cease.

6 O Everlasting Rest,
Lift off life's load of care;
Relieve, revive this burdened breast,
And every sorrow bear.

7 Thou art in heaven our All,
Our All on earth art Thou;
Upon Thy gracious Name we call,
Lord Jesus, bless us now.

Amen.
