O Christ, our true and only light

Author: C. Winkworth; J. Herrmann Hymnal: Wartburg Hymnal #234 (1918) Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice, And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze, And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, O gently seek! Thy healing be To ev'ry wounded conscience giv'n, And let them also share Thy heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy word, And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold, Recall the wand'rers from Thy fold, Unite all those who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wond'ring thanks adore, And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and heaven.
