For sorrow now hath found my soul.

O God of light and glory,
Thy servants look to see
The light that shines effulgent
Upon their souls from Thee.

II

And lo! the heavens are open,
And from the throne of God,
The Christ, the Light eternal,
That glory sheds abroad.

III

And eyes reflect the beauty,
And hearts responding glow;
For only they who see Thee
Can in Thy likeness grow.

{kai klausomen, kai praxomen}

I

I have no tears to shed,
For grief my soul hath none;
My heart hath never bled,
For ought that I have done;
I weep not when I hear Thee say
That sin hath carried me away.

II

I have no tears to shed;
Wilt Thou not touch my heart,
And bid sin's wounds run red,
And throb with bitter smart?--
Then shall I lift my prayer and say,
"Lord, take my many sins away."

III

For Thou, O Lord, dost will
That all should seek Thy face,
That Thou mayest well fulfil
The promise of Thy grace.
Who ever sought Thy love in vain,
Or failed Thy pardon to obtain?

{pyripnoon dexasthe pneumatos droson}

I

Thy love hath sweetened me,--
Thy love, O Christ, divine,
And by Thy favour Thou hast changed
This wilful heart of mine.

II

Now by Thy Spirit's fire,
Consume my sins, I pray,
And in my heart a love instil,
That shall abide for aye.

III

Then shall my heart rejoice,
Because Thou dost abide,
For ever, O Thou Blessed One,
Close to Thy servant's side.

IV

And love and joy shall be
My strength while here I stay;
And love, the spring of all my joy,
Shall live and love alway.

Lo! He gave Himself to die,
Christ, our God, Who came to save us;
