Lyrics:

O light of Light!

O light of Light, love given birth;
Jesus, Redeemer of the earth:
more bright than day your face did show,
your raiment whiter than the snow.

O light of Light!

Two prophets who had faith to see,
with your elect found company;
the heavens above, your glory named,
your Father’s voice his Son proclaimed.

O light of Light!
	
May all who seek to praise aright
through purer lives show forth your light.
To you, the King of glory, now
all faithful hearts adoring bow.

O light of Light!

Notes: SATB with divisi in all parts.
