The True Light

Charles Wesley (1744) • English

Primary Scripture: Isaiah 9:2

Verse 1

Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death, Jesus, now Thyself revealing, Scatter every cloud beneath.

Verse 2

Still we wait for Thine appearing; Life and joy Thy beams impart, Chasing all our doubts, and cheering Every meek and contrite heart.

Verse 3

Show Thy power in every nation, O Thou Prince of Peace and Love! Give the knowledge of salvation, Fix our hearts on things above.

Verse 4

By Thine all-sufficient merit, Every burdened soul release; By the presence of Thy Spirit, Guide us into perfect peace.
