Original text and translations

English text

1  Light of the world! for ever, ever shining, There is no change in Thee; True Light of Life, all joy and health enshrining, Thou canst not fade nor flee. 2  Thou hast arisen, but Thou descendest never; Today shines as the past; All that Thou wast Thou art, and shalt be ever, Brightness from first to last.

3  Night visits not Thy sky, nor storm, nor sadness; Day fills up all its blue, Unfailing beauty, and unfaltering gladness, And love for ever new. 4  Light of the world, undimming and unsetting! O shine each mist away; Banish the fear, the falsehood, and the fretting; Be our unchanging Day.
