O Gladsome Light

O gladsome light, O grace

Of God the Father’s face,

The eternal splendor wearing;

Celestial, holy, blest,

Our Savior, Jesus Christ,

Joyful in Thine appearing.

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.

To Thee of right belongs

All praise of holy songs,

O Son of God, lifegiver;

Thee therefore, O most high,

The world doth glorify

And shall exalt for ever.
