O Light of light, shine in

1
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 heart Thy dwelling;
O Joy, all grief dispelling,
    To my poor heart come in!
2
O Joy of joys, come in!
  End Thou this grief of sin,
Create calm peace within:
  O Joy of joys, come in!
3
O Life of life, pour in!
  Expel this death of sin,
Awake true life within:
  O Life of life, pour in!
4
O Love of love, flow in!
  This hateful root of sin
Deal with, renew, within:
  O Love of love, flow in!
5
O Heaven of heavens, descend!
  This cloudy curtain rend,
And all earth’s turmoil end:
  O Heaven of heavens, descend!
6
My God and Lord, O come!
  Of joys the Joy and Sum,
Make in this heart Thy home:
  My God and Lord, O come!

Clearly, this author is not satisfied to read about theology or simply bieve in orthodoxy. He wanted the actual life behind the words, the reality behind the promises. This Jesus will do for those who have His word and keep it, and He will manifest Himself to them. Then all the promises come true in Christ Jesus. We are then living as dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Him. Brothers and sisters, don't stop longing for the fullness; keep going until it breaks on you!
