LyicsLIGHT of those whose dreary dwelling
Borders on the shades of death,
Rise on us, thyself revealing,
Rise to chase the clouds beneath.
Hallelujah--
Rise to chase the clouds beneath.
Now we wait thy re-appearing;
Life and joy thy beams impart,
Calming all our fears, and cheering
Every meek and contrite heart.
Save us in thy great compassion,
Oh thou Prince of Peace and love!
All the fulness of salvation,
Let thy waiting people prove.
By thine all-sufficient merit,
Every burdened soul release;
Every weary wandering spirit,
Guide into thy perfect peace.
Thou, of life and light Creator,
In our darkest moments rise;
Scatter all the night of nature,
Pour the day upon our eyes.
Hallelujah--
Pour the day upon our eyes.
