O Light of Life

O Light of life, O Beam divine,
Trace us till we are whole.
Effulgent Ray, on us now shine;
Transform our bitter souls.
No more in right and wrong we’ll stay.
That tree, in us uproot!
Evil and good no more our way,
Life flows! We bear light’s fruit!

Once darkness, we did walk in hate,
Far from Your holy flame.
Light quelled sin’s gloom; our needs You sate,
Born of Your radiant name,
Not merely children of the day,
But light itself—we rise!
Awake, o sleeper, from the dead:
Light shines! Light makes us Christ!

Light shines! Light makes us Christ!

True Life in us, unconquerable,
Each blow Christ can endure;
No storm, no hell, no tempter’s pull
Can shake Life’s power pure.
Our mortal life, Light’s tests expose,
Its frailty laid so bare!
Our strength dissolves, but Christ bestows
A life beyond death’s snare.

As light reveals, Your life supplies,
A pathway sure and bright.
From depths of love, we realize
Our growth is borne by light.
In light, no veil now hides Your face—
Our sight, restored and clear!
Through You, we walk, transformed in grace,
Your glory drawing near!
