Verse 1: O Light of light, shine in! Cast out this night of sin, Create true day within: O Light of light, shine in! Verse 2: O Joy of joys, come in! End Thou this grief of sin, Create calm peace within: O Joy of joys, come in! Verse 3: O Life of life, pour in! Expel this death of sin, Awake true life within: O Life of life, pour in! Verse 4: O Love of love, flow in! This hateful root of sin Deal with, renew, within: O Love of love, flow in! Verse 5: O Heaven of heavens, descend! This cloudy curtain rend, And all earth's turmoil end: O Heaven of heavens, descend! Verse 6: My God and Lord, O come! Of joys the Joy and Sum, Make in this heart Thy home: My God and Lord, O come!
