Author: William Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of God the Father, in majesty and might, O brightness of his glory, eternal Light of Light: to gloomy haunts of darkness your rays are streaming down; the shadows flee before you the world's true light has come. 2 Yet, Lord, we see but dimly; O heavenly Light, arise; dispel the mists that shroud us and hide you from our eyes. We long to track the footprints where you yourself have trod; we long to see the pathway that leads to you, our God. 3 O Jesus, shine around us with radiance of your grace; O Jesus, turn upon us the brightness of your face. We need no star to guide us, as on our way we press, if you will light our pathway, O Sun of Righteousness!
