Light of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death
Come, and by Thy love’s revealing
Dissipate the clouds beneath
The new heav’n and earth’s Creator
In our deepest darkness rise
Scatt’ring all the night of nature
Pouring eyesight on our eyes
2.
Still we wait for Thine appearing
Life and joy Thy beams impart
Chasing all our fears and cheering
Every poor benighted heart;
Come, and manifest the favour
God hath for our ransom’d race
Come, Thou universal Saviour
Come, and bring the gospel grace
3.
Save us in thy great compassion
O Thou mild, pacific Prince
Give the knowledge of salvation
Give the pardon of our sins
By Thy all restoring merit
Every burden’d soul release
Every weary, wand’ring spirit
Guide into Thy perfect world
Amen
