Father of Lights

Father of lights

In whom there is no sha­dow

Giver of ev­ery good and per­fect gift!

With one ac­cord we seek Thy ho­ly pre­sence

Gladly our hearts to Thee in praise we lift.

Glad for the cause

That binds our lives to­ge­ther

Through Thee unit­ed

wor­ship­ing as one;

Glad for the crown­ing gift that Thou hast giv­en

Sending

to light the world

Thine on­ly Son.

Light of the world

Through whom we know the Fa­ther!

Pour out up­on us Thine abid­ing love

That we may know its depth and height and splen­dor

That Heav­en may come to earth from Heav­en above.

Thou art the Christ!

To Thee we own al­le­giance.

May our de­vo­tion sweep from sea to sea

Even as we

the gift from Thee re­ceiv­ing

Joyfully mi­nis­ter that gift for Thee.
