Verse 1

From the cross of Christ uplifted, Shines an everlasting light; By its rays the clouds are rifted, Till the homeland is in sight.

Chorus

Blessed Light, Light divine, To the world the rays are streaming; Hallowed Light, Light of love, From the cross of Christ are beaming.

Verse 2

Ev'ry storm that gathers o'er us Adds new luster to its ray; And the cares that rise before us, In its radiance pass away.

Chorus

Blessed Light, Light divine, To the world the rays are streaming; Hallowed Light, Light of love, From the cross of Christ are beaming.

Verse 3

Tho' the tempest wildly rages, By this Light the way is sure; And thro'-out the sweep of ages, It, unshaken, shall endure.

Chorus

Blessed Light, Light divine, To the world the rays are streaming; Hallowed Light, Light of love, From the cross of Christ are beaming.
