O God of Light

1O God of light, Your Word, a lamp unfailing,
Shall pierce the darkness of our earthbound way
RefrainAnd show Your grace, Your plan for us unveiling,
And questing mortals longing for Your healing,
That myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending,
And guide our footsteps to the perfect day.
Who wrote with eager or reluctant pen.
See Your compassion and celebrate Your gift of grace.
May praise and celebrate Your gift of grace.
2s days of old, through blind and willful ages,
Though we rebelled, You gently sought again,
3Undimmed by time, those words are still revealing
To sinful hearts Your justice and Your grace;
4To all the world Your summons You are sending,
Through all the earth and every land and race,
