The Church Hymnal ‎#325

325. Light of those whose dreary dwelling

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

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

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.

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

Amen.
