259 O One with God the Father,

1 O One with God the Father, In majesty and might, The brightness of His glory, Eternal Light of light, O'er this our home of darkness Thy rays are streaming now; The shadows flee before Thee; The world's true light art Thou. 2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly: O heavenly Light, arise, Dispel these mists that shroud us, And hide Thee from our eyes. We long to track the footprints That Thou Thyself hast trod; We long to see the pathway That leads to Thee, our God. 3 O Jesus, shine around us With radiance of Thy grace; O Jesus, turn upon us The brightness of Thy face. We need no star to guide us, As on our way we press, If Thou Thy light vouchsafest, O Sun of righteousness.
