O Christ, our true and on­ly light,
Illumine those who sit in night,
Let those afar now hear Thy voice,
And in Thy fold with us re­joice.

Fill with the ra­di­ance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in er­ror’s maze,
And all whom in their sec­ret minds,
Some dark de­lu­sion hurts and blinds.

And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gent­ly seek! Thy heal­ing be
To ev­ery wound­ed con­science giv’n;
And let them al­so share Thy heav’n.

O make the deaf to hear Thy Word;
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow
Though se­cret­ly they hold it now.

Shine on the dark­ened and the cold;
Recall the wan­der­ers to Thy fold;
Unite those now who walk apart;
Confirm the weak and doubt­ing heart.

So they with us may ev­er­more
Such grace with won­der­ing thanks adore,
And end­less praise to Thee be giv’n
By all Thy Church in earth and Heav’n.
