O most blessed Light divine, Shine within these hearts of yours, and our inmost be…ing fill!

Nothing free from taint…of ill.
Heal our wounds, our strength renew; On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt…away: Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill; Guide the steps that go…astray.
On the faithful who adore, and confess you evermore, in your s’venfold gift…descend;
Give them virtue’s sure reward; Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that ne…ver end.
A_men, Amen, Amen! (keep repeating) A_lle, Alleuia! (keep repeating)
