 1  O Light of light, shine in!

       Cast out, this night of sin,

    Create true day within:

       O Light of light, shine in!

 

O Light, all light excelling,

   Make my heart Thy dwelling;

O Joy, all grief dispelling,

   To my poor heart come in!

 

 2  O Joy of joys, come in!

       End Thou this grief of sin,

    Create calm peace within:

       O Joy of joys, come in!

 

O Light, all light excelling,

   Make my heart Thy dwelling;

O Joy, all grief dispelling,

   To my poor heart come in!

 

 3  O Life of life, pour in!

       Expel this death of sin,

    Awake true life within:

       O Life of life, pour in!

 

O Light, all light excelling,

   Make my heart Thy dwelling;

O Joy, all grief dispelling,

   To my poor heart come in!

 

 4  O Love of love, flow in!

       This hateful root of sin

    Deal with, renew, within:

       O Love of love, flow in!

 

O Light, all light excelling,

   Make my heart Thy dwelling;

O Joy, all grief dispelling,

   To my poor heart come in!

 

 5  O Heaven of heavens, descend!

       This cloudy curtain rend,

    And all earth's turmoil end:

       O Heaven of heavens, descend!

 

O Light, all light excelling,

   Make my heart Thy dwelling;

O Joy, all grief dispelling,

   To my poor heart come in!

 

 6  My God and Lord, O come!

       Of joys the Joy and Sum,

    Make in this heart Thy home:

       My God and Lord, O come!

 

O Light, all light excelling,

   Make my heart Thy dwelling;

O Joy, all grief dispelling,

   To my poor heart come in!
