Light of my gladness,
Joy of my soul;
Solace in sadness,
Making me whole;
Robe of pure whiteness,
Faith's free reward;
Sun of all brightness;
Jesus, my Lord.
Hope of tomorrow,
Strength of today;
Comfort in sorrow,
Succor and stay;
Mine of real treasure,
Mercy's free hoard;
Sum of all pleasure,
Jesus, my Lord.
Bright Star of Morning,
Hope of the heart;
Soon come the dawning
When we depart.
Then shall we meet
Thee With one accord,
Joyfully greet Thee,
Jesus, our Lord.
Son of the Father,
Gift of His love;
Then, all together
With Thee above,
We shall adore Thee,—
Harps in full chord,—
Fall down before Thee;
Jesus, the Lord.
