Light of the World, We Hail Thee Lyrics
1 Light of the world, we hail Thee,
Flushing the eastern skies;
Never shall darkness veil Thee
Again from human eyes;
Too long, alas, witholden,
Now spread from shore to shore;
Thy light, so glad and golden,
Shall set on earth no more.
2 Light of the world, Thy beauty
Steals into every heart,
And glorifies with duty
Life’s poorest, humblest part;
Thou robest in Thy splendor
The simple ways of men,
And helpest them to render
Light back to Thee again.
3 Light of the world, illumine
This darkened land of Thine,
Till everything that’s human
Be filled with what’s divine;
Till every tongue and nation,
From sin’s dominion free,
Rise in the new creation
Which springs from Love and Thee.
Amen.
