Original text and translations
English text
- O Thou, the central orb of righteous love,Pure beam of the Most High,
- Eternal light of this our bleak world,
- where thy radiance bright awakes new joy in faith,Hope soars above.
- Come, quickly come, and let Thy radiant glory shine
- Gilding our darksome heav'n with rays divine.
- Thy Saints with holy lustre round Thee move as stars about Thy throne,
- Set in the height of God's ordaining counsel,
- as Thy sight gives measured grace to each Thy pow'r to prove.
- Let Thy bright beams disperse the gloom of our sin,
- Our nature all shall then feel eternal day in fellowship with Thee
- transforming day to souls erewhile unclean, now pure within. Amen.
