Light of the world, we hail Thee, flushing the eastern skies; Never shall darkness veil Thee again from human eyes; Too long, alas, withholden, now spread from shore to shore; Thy light, so glad and golden, shall set on earth no more. Light of the world, Thy beauty steals into every heart, And glorifies with duty life???s poorest, humblest, part; Thou robest in Thy splendor the simple ways of men, And helpest them to render light back to Thee again. Light of the world, before Thee our spirits prostrate fall; We worship, we adore Thee, Thou Light, the Life of all; With Thee is no forgetting of all Thine hand hath made; Thy rising hath no setting, Thy sunshine hath no shade. Light of the world, illumine this darkened earth of Thine, Till everything that???s human be filled with what???s divine; Till every tongue and nation, from sin???s dominion free, Rise in the new creation which springs from love and Thee.
