EN 4238 Light of the World! Forever, Ever Shining

John.8.12

Versi Version 1

Light of the world! forever, ever shining,

There is no change in Thee;

True Light of life, all joy and health enshrining,

Thou canst not fade nor flee.

Thou hast arisen, but Thou descendeth never;

Today shines as the past;

All that Thou wast Thou art and shalt be ever,

Brightness from first to last.

Night visits not Thy sky, nor storm, nor sadness;

Day fills up all its blue—

Unfailing beauty, and unfaltering gladness,

And lover forever new.

Light of the world! undimming and unsetting,

O shine each mist away;

Banish the fear, the falsehood, and the fretting;

Be our unchanging Day.
