"Gott wohnt in einem Lichte" is a German hymn with a text by Jochen Klepper, written in 1938. With a melody by Bartholomäus Gesius (1603)[1], it became part of several hymnals and song books.[2]

The song is full of biblical references.[3] It is part of the Protestans hymnal Evangelisches Gesangbuch as EG 379[3][1] and the Catholic hymnal Gotteslob as GL 429,[4] among others.
