Verse 1
O splendor of God’s glory bright, From light eternal bringing light; O Light of life, light’s living spring, True day, all days illumining.
Verse 2
O Thou true Sun, on us Thy glance Let fall in royal radiance; The Spirit’s sanctifying beam Upon our earthly senses stream.
Verse 3
O joyful be the passing day With thoughts as clear as morning’s ray, With faith like noontide shining bright, Our souls unshadowed by the night.
Verse 4
Dawn’s glory gilds the earth and skies; Let Him, our perfect morn, arise; The Father’s help His children claim, And sing the Father’s glorious name. Amen.
