Oh Light that is the Life of Men


Oh light that is the life of men
Illuminate the night again
Your great glory show to us
Poor sinners whom you declare just.

Oh light that is the life of men
Darkness cannot comprehend
The searing rays of glory shed
Abroad to bring life to the dead.

Lord rule this world with Truth and Grace
Lord make a throne room of this place
Lord make the nations come to confess
The glories of your righteousness
Lord make the nations prove
The wonders of your love
Lord make each creature prove
The wonders of your love.

Oh light that is the life of men
Shine upon this world of sin
And make the darkness flee
Lord shine your light through me.

Lord rule this world with Truth and Grace
Lord make a throne room of this place
Lord make the nations come to confess
The glories of your righteousness
Lord make the nations prove
The wonders of your love
Lord make each creature prove
The wonders of your love.
