	O CHRIST, our true and only Light,    Shine upon those who sit in night; Make needy souls now hear Thy voice, And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2	All who have strayed afar from Thee, O gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them also share Thy Heaven.
3	O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now.
4	Shine on the wayward and the cold, Recall the wanderers from Thy fold; Those now unite who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
5	So they with us may evermore Such grace, with wondering thanks, adore; And endless praise to Thee be given By all Thy Church in earth and Heaven.
	Johann Heermann, 1585-1647, tr Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78
