O Christ, The Light Of Heaven

O Christ, the Light of heaven

And of the world true Light,

You come in all Your radiance

To cleave the web of night.

May what is false within us

Before Your truth give way,

That we may live untroubled,

With quiet hearts this day.

May steadfast faith sustain us,

And hope made firm in You;

The love that we have wasted,

O God of love, renew.

Blest Trinity we praise You

In whom our quest will cease;

Keep us with You for ever

In happiness and peace.
