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

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

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

Uphold me in the way;

To joy and light and day.

Wellspring of grace and peace,

Lift off life’s load of care;
Relieve, revive this burdened breast,
And every sorrow bear.

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