O Thou, the Word of truth divine! All light I have not been, Nor kept the day as wholly Thine; For Thou dark spots hast seen. The day is down: night hath prevailed: My Lord I have belied; I vowed, and thought to do, but failed; My steps did somewhere slide. There came a darkness from below Obscuring safety's way. Thy light, O Christ, again bestow; Turn darkness into day.
