O Christ, Our True and Only Light

Verse 1

O Christ, our true and only light, enlighten those who sit in night; let those afar now hear your voice and in your fold with us rejoice.

Verse 2

Fill with the radiance of your grace the souls now lost in error's maze; enlighten those whose inmost minds some dark delusion haunts and blinds.

Verse 3

O gently call those gone astray that they may find the saving way; let ev'ry conscience sore oppressed in you find peace and heav'nly rest.

Verse 4

Shine on the darkened and the cold, recall the wand'rers to your fold; unite all those who walk apart, confirm the weak and doubting heart,

Verse 5

That they with us may evermore such grace with wond'ring thanks adore and endless praise to you be giv'n by all your Church in earth and heav'n.
