1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only Light, Sun of Righteousness, arise, triumph over shades of night: Dayspring from on high, be near; Daystar, in my heart appear! 2 Dark and cheerless is the dawn till your glories shine on me; joyless is the day’s return till your mercy’s beams I see: as they inward light impart, cheer my eyes, and warm my heart. 3 Visit then this soul of mine, pierce the gloom of sin and grief; fill me, Radiancy divine, scatter all my unbelief: more and more yourself display, shining to the perfect day! |
