Another amazing excerpt from Poems and Rymed Prayers by Eberhard Arnold


Light, redeem! O save and free us.
Let thy beams pierce us to the core.
Consecrate all things, King Jesus,
thou rising sun, thou morning star.
Lord, we fully trust thy radiance.
Thy summons calls us out of night.
Brilliant light-worlds dost thou build
of fires baptismal, pure and bright.
Built on shining, radiant pillars,
thy sacred temple soon will stand.
Roar, O spirit of fire, roar loudly –
send out thy flames across the land!
Holy power, draw near and heal us:
alone in pureness can life shine.
Leave us not, O Holy Spirit –
a pure white stone thy sacred sign.
