16. O Light Whose Splendour Thrills

1 O Light, whose splendour thrills and gladdens
with radiance brighter than the sun,
pure gleam of God's unending glory,
O Jesus, blest Anointed One;

2 as twilight hovers near at sunset,
and lamps are lit, and children nod,
in evening hymns we lift our voices
to Father, Spirit, Son: one God.

3 In all life's brilliant, timeless moments,
let faithful voices sing your praise.
O Son of God, our life-bestower,
whose glory lightens endless days.
