Light of Those Whose Dreary Dwelling

Light of those whose drea­ry dwell­ing

Borders on the shades of death

Come

and by Thy love’s re­veal­ing

Dissipate the clouds be­neath.

The new heav­en and earth’s cre­at­or

In our deep­est dark­ness rise

Scattering all the night of na­ture

Pouring eye­sight on our eyes.

Still we wait for Thine ap­pear­ing;

Life and joy Thy beams impart

Chasing all our fears

and cheer­ing

Every poor be­night­ed heart.

Come

and ma­ni­fest the fa­vor

God hath for our ran­somed race;

Come

Thou uni­vers­al Sav­ior

Come

and bring the Gos­pel grace.

Save us in Thy great com­pas­sion

O Thou mild

pa­ci­fic Prince;

Give the know­ledge of sal­va­tion

Give the par­don of our sins.

By Thine all-re­deem­ing mer­it

Every bur­dened soul re­lease;

Every wea­ry

wan­der­ing spir­it

Guide into Thy per­fect peace.
