Kindle the flint, the tinder Liven the hearth the stone Shelter the dying lantern light Gladden the shadowed home Into this wilderness of shadows Come, Light original Answer our famine yearning Nourish our blighted fields Raise all our fallen storehouses Leaven the bitter yield Into this emptiness, this hunger Come, Bread all bountiful. Out of the blowing starlessness Over the frozen sea Into our barren midnight Up from the fruitless trees O come Loosen the cloaks of journeymen Mend all the broken roads Wake us from fitful forest sleep Lighten the lonely load Into this pilgrimage, this journey Come, Home perpetual.
