O Light of light, shine in!
Cast out this night of sin;
Create true day with­in;
O Light of light, shine in!

Refrain

O Light, all light ex­cell­ing,
Make my soul Thy dwell­ing;
O Joy, all grief dispell­ing,
To my poor heart come in.

O Joy of joys, come in!
End Thou this grief of sin;
Create calm peace with­in;
O Joy of joys, come in!

Refrain

O Life of life, pour in!
Expel this death of sin;
Awake true life with­in;
O Life of life, pour in!

Refrain

O Love of love, flow in!
This hate­ful root of sin
Pluck up, de­stroy with­in;
O Love of love, flow in!

Refrain

O Heav’n of heav’ns, des­cend!
This cloudy cur­tain rend,
And all earth’s tur­moil end,
O Heav’n of heav’ns, des­cend!

Refrain

My God and Lord, oh come!
Of joys the joy and sum,
Make in this heart Thy home;
My God and Lord, oh come!
