And following close thy secret grace Emerge into that glorious place Where darkness is no more. The universal Light thou art, And turn’d to thee the darkest heart A glimmering spark may find; Let man reject it or embrace, Thou offerest once thy saving grace To me, and all mankind. Light of my soul, I follow thee, In humble faith on earth to see Thy perfect day of love, And then with all thy saints in light To gain the beatific sight Which makes their heaven above. (Scripture Hymns, vol. 2, Hymn 400)
