The Cry of the Weary

O Light of light

shine in!

Cast out this night of sin;

Create true day with­in;

O Light of light

shine in!

O Light

all light ex­cell­ing

Make my soul Thy dwell­ing;

O Joy

all grief dis­pell­ing

To my poor heart come in.

O Joy of joys

come in!

End Thou this grief of sin;

Create calm peace with­in;

O Joy of joys

come in!

O Life of life

pour in!

Expel this death of sin;

Awake true life with­in;

O Life of life

pour in!

O Love of love

flow in!

This hate­ful root of sin

Pluck up

de­stroy with­in;

O Love of love

flow in!

O Heav’n of heav’ns

des­cend!

This cloudy cur­tain rend

And all earth’s tur­moil end

O Heav’n of heav’ns

des­cend!

My God and Lord

oh come!

Of joys the joy and sum

Make in this heart Thy home;

My God and Lord

oh come!
