 1  Thou art love and Thou art light, Lord,

       In the Son as life Thou art;

    Love expressing, light illum'ning,

       Thou dost life to us impart.

 

Thou art love! Thou art light!

   In the Son as life Thou art;

Love expressing, light illum'ning

   Thou dost life to us impart.

 

 2  Love bespeaks Thy very being,

       What Thou dost is shown by light;

    Love is inward, light is outward,

       Love accompanies the light.

 

Thou art love! Thou art light!

   In the Son as life Thou art;

Love expressing, light illum'ning

   Thou dost life to us impart.

 

 3  Love by grace is manifested,

       And the light by truth is shown;

    By Thy love we may enjoy Thee;

       By Thy light Thou, Lord, art known.

 

Thou art love! Thou art light!

   In the Son as life Thou art;

Love expressing, light illum'ning

   Thou dost life to us impart.

 

 4  Thru Thy love, which led to Calvary,

       We receive the life of God;

    Light our understanding opens,

       That we may apply the blood.

 

Thou art love! Thou art light!

   In the Son as life Thou art;

Love expressing, light illum'ning

   Thou dost life to us impart.

 

 5  Thru Thy love, as life Thou enter'st

       Fellowship with Thee to give;

    Thru Thy light we take Thy cleansing

       And in fellowship may live.

 

Thou art love! Thou art light!

   In the Son as life Thou art;

Love expressing, light illum'ning

   Thou dost life to us impart.

 

 6  By the light and blood which cleanses,

       The anointing we shall know;

    Then the life of love Thine essence,

       More and more in us will flow.

 

Thou art love! Thou art light!

   In the Son as life Thou art;

Love expressing, light illum'ning

   Thou dost life to us impart.

 

 7  By Thy love we are Thy children,

       Abba Father calling Thee;

    Light disperses all our darkness,

       Till, like Him, Thy Son, we see.

 

O what grace! O what truth!

   Love is seen and light is shown!

We would praise Thee never ceasing,

   Thou by love and light art known!
