O CHRIST, our true and only Light,

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.

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.

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.

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.
