Tune: Lux Benigna
(\'Lead, kindly light\')
*********
Sun glimmers through dark clouds unto our sight
Though not yet night
Seeking to o\'ercome light, but sun not gone
it still has shone
In our oppressions, trials, and troubles we
Still Christ the Light of the world we may see
Hold to that sight, the light shall still be there
In it we share
Darkness shall not triumph, for Christ for sure
Has gone before
He is the Way, and for us make a way
That leads unto life and eternal day
Bright beams break through, and the dark clouds dispel
All shall be well
Sorrows turn to joy, peaceful be the dawn
Of Christ-light morn[ing]
Shines ever brighter to the perfect day
When Christ to His Rapture calls us to stay
