First Line: Light colourless doth colour all things else

Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


LIGHT colourless doth colour all things else:
Where light dwells pleasure dwells
And peace excels.
Then rise and shine,
Thou shadowed soul of mine,
And let a cheerful rainbow make thee fine.

Light, fountain of all beauty and delight,
Leads day forth from the night,
Turns blackness white.
Light waits for thee
Where all have eyes to see:
Oh well is thee, and happy shalt thou be.
