Christ My Song - 451
Out of darkness into light - The Light is Come
(Horatius Bonar/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
The Light is Come.
1. Out of darkness into light
Jesus calls the sons of night;
out of midnight into day
Jesus bids us come away.
Arise! arise and shine!
Thy light, thy light is come;
the glory of the Lord
is risen upon our gloom. PDF - Midi
2. From the prison-house of sin,
from the foes without, within;
from this mortal weariness,
Jesus calls to joy and peace.
Arise! arise and shine!
Thy light, thy light is come;
the glory of the Lord
is risen upon our gloom.
3. From this world’s alluring snares,
from its perils and its cares,
from its vanity and strife,
Jesus beckons us to life.
Arise! arise and shine!
Thy light, thy light is come;
the glory of the Lord
is risen upon our gloom.
4. From the vanities of youth,
into rest, and love, and truth,
into joy that never palls,
Jesus in his mercy calls.
Arise! arise and shine!
Thy light, thy light is come;
the glory of the Lord
is risen upon our gloom.
Horatius Bonar, The Song of the New Creation, 1872, 78-79.
