Luke 9:28-36
O light of everlasting love
By which the world was made,
Illume your people from above
With veins of gold inlaid.
O light of never-ending fire
On Moses’ holy tree,
Consume our darkness on your pyre,
And set your people free.
O light of eye, O life of mind,
O love of hopeful heart,
By which we see, and know, and find—
Reveal your loving art.
O light of sorrow, joy of pain
By which we are made clean,
O loving cruelty divine,
Create eternal sheen.
O hidden light, unseen, unknown,
O ray of darkness deep,
How long since you yourself have shown—
How long must we yet weep?
O light in darkness on the cross,
O glory hid in shame,
O burn away in us our dross,
And take away our blame.
O light, O seed, O holy one,
O in our hearts reside.
O make a house, a hearth, a home,
And there, fore’er, abide.
O Lord, all we with unveiled face
To you look for repose,
For light, for life, for love, for place,
For sight we shall not lose.
