The Light Is Come

Out of dark­ness in­to light

Jesus calls the sons of night;

Out of mid­night in­to day

Jesus bids us come away.

Arise and shine!

Thy light is come;

The glo­ry of the Lord

Is ris­en up­on our gloom.

Arise and shine!

Thy light is come

The glo­ry of the Lord

Is ris­en up­on our gloom.

From the pri­son house of sin

From the pow­er with­out

with­in

From this mor­tal wea­ri­ness

Jesus calls to joy and peace.

From this world’s al­lur­ing snares

From its per­ils and its cares;

From its van­ity and strife

Jesus beck­ons us to life.

From the van­ity of youth

Into rest and love and truth

Into joy that nev­er palls

Jesus now in mer­cy calls.
