1 O Everlasting Light, Giver of dawn and day, Dispeller of the ancient night In which creation lay; 2 O Everlasting Light, Shine graciously within; Brightest of all on earth that's bright, Come, shine away my sin. 3 O Everlasting Truth, Truest of all that's true, Sure guide of erring age and youth, Lead me, and teach me too. 4 O Everlasting Strength, Uphold me in the way; Bring me, in spite of foes, at length To joy and light and day. 5 O Everlasting Love, Wellspring of grace and peace, Pour down Thy fulness from above, Bid doubt and trouble cease. 6 O Everlasting Rest, Lift off life's load of care; Relieve, revive this burdened breast, And every sorrow bear. 7 Thou art in heaven our All, Our All on earth art Thou; Upon Thy gracious Name we call, Lord Jesus, bless us now. Amen.
