O gladsome light

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 54.

Verse 1

O gladsome light, Of God the Father’s face, The eternal splendor wearing; Celestial, holy, blest, Our Savior, Jesus Christ, Joyful in Thine appearing.

Verse 2

Now e’er day fadeth quite, We see the ev’ning light, Our wonted hymn outpouring; Father of might unknown, Thee His incarnate Son, And Holy Spirit adoring.

Verse 3

To Thee of right belongs All praise of holy songs, O Son of God, life giver; Thee, therefore, O most high, The world doth glorify And shall exalt forever.
