Light, that from the dark abyss

Author: Edward B. Pirks Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #187 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Light, that from the dark abyss Madest all things, none amiss, To share Thy beauty, share Thy bliss, Come to us: come. 2 Light, that dost o'er all things reign, Light that dost all life maintain; O Light, that dost create again, Come to us: come. 3 Light of men, that left the skies, Light that looked through human eyes, And died in darkness as man dies, Come to us: come. 4 Light that stooped to rise and raise, Soared to God above our gaze, And still art with us all the days, Come to us: come. 5 We have done great wrong to Thee, Yet we do belong to Thee; Oh, make our life one song to Thee, Come to us: come.
