(\'Eternal Light! Eternal Light!\')
*******
Light Uncreated, shine on me
My inmost part you see
And dare a mortal ask for light?
We who were sinners in your sight
Now know redemption bright
The light of actuality
Man cannot bear to see
It in its full intensity
But glimpses shown by your grace free
Are shown e\'en unto me
You whole and holy, pure always
Through everlasting days
Await a while, we meditate
On you Lord, Almighty and great
Knowing each human\'s state
God, no beginning and no end
Your Son you did Him send
To be our Saviour, take our place
Die, rise again for every race
Your love, mercies we trace
E\'er high above, yet to us near
Your grace does here appear
Help us more of your will to know
And so to in Christ\'s image grow
His words and actions show
So in light unapproachable
You dwell, though do us call
Father revealed in Christ your Son
And with the Holy Spirit one
Comparable to none
