  1. Christ, whose glory fills the skies
    Christ, the true, the only Light,
    Sun of righteousness, arise,
    Triumph o’er the shades of night;
    Day-spring from on high, be near,
    Day-star, in my heart appear.

  2. Dark and cheerless is the morn
    Unaccompanied by Thee;
    Joyless is the day’s return,
    Till Thy mercy’s beams I see,
    Till they inward light impart,
    Glad 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 Thyself display,
    Shining to the perfect day. Amen.
