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
