O Christ, Our True and Only Light lyrics

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.

And all who else have strayed from Thee,

O gently seek; Thy healing be

To every wounded conscience given;

And let them also share Thy heaven.

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.

Shine on the darkened and the cold;

Recall the wanderers to Thy fold;

Unite those now who walk apart;

Confirm the weak and doubting heart.

So they with us may evermore

Such grace with wondering thanks adore,

And endless praise to Thee be given

By all the Church in earth and heaven.
