The Cry of the Weary

O Light of light, shine in!
Cast out this night of sin;
Create true day within;
O Light of light, shine in!

O Joy of joys, come in!
End thou this grief of sin;
Create calm peace within;
O Joy of joys, come in!

O Life of life, pour in!
Expel this death of sin;
Awake true life within;
O Life of life, pour in!

O Love of love, flow in!
This hateful root of sin
Pluck up, destroy within;
O Love of love, flow in!

O Heaven of heavens, descend!
This cloudy curtain rend,
And all earth's turmoil end,
O Heaven of heavens, descend!

My God and Lord, Oh come!
Of joys the Joy and Sum,
Make in this heart thy home;
My God and Lord, Oh come!
