Hymn 287: Father of light, and life, and love
HYMN CCLXXXVII.
Father of light, and life, and love, Thyself to us reveal, As below and above Thy sacred presence feel.
Not with the eye of mortal sense, By angels round the throne, Or happy souls departed hence, Art Thou in glory known.
No sun by day, no moon by night, For this our spirits need, Who walk by faith, and not by sight, They feel Thee indeed.
Light in Thy light the blind may see, No more by sin estranged; Light in the Lord, so let us be, Into Thine image changed.
Since Thou Thyself dost still display Unto the pure in heart; O make us, children of the day, To know Thee as Thou art.
For Thou art light, and life, and love; And Thy 'd below May see Thee, as Thy above, And know Thee as they know
