When these days of shadow pass And suffering is no more A fire in the dark will glow And Christ our souls restore Holy child of mystery Please set ablaze our hearts With grace unending, love so pure And pierce the ancient dark O Light! Heaven shine down on earth O Joy! Come and break the curse We praise the name above every name A light has come and Christ to Thee we run As the tide of heaven's wrath Is washed beneath the sea A Living Stream shall quench our thirst For all eternity O Light! Heaven shine down on earth O Joy! Come and break the curse We praise the name above every name A light has come and Christ to Thee we run
