Come, True Light (St. Symeon the New Theologian)

Come, true light. Come, life eternal. Come, hidden mystery. Come, treasure without name. Come, reality beyond all words. Come, person beyond all understanding. Come, rejoicing without end. Come, light that knows no evening. Come, unfailing expectation of the saved. Come, raising of the fallen. Come, resurrection of the dead. Come, all-powerful, for unceasingly you create, refashion and change all things by your will alone. Come, invisible, whom none may touch and handle. Come, for you continue always unmoved, yet at every moment you are wholly in movement. Come, my breath and my life. Come, the consolation of my humble soul. Come, my joy, my glory, my endless delight.
