O gladsome light, O grace Of God the Father’s face, Th’ eternal splendor wearing, Celestial, holy, blest, Our Savior, Jesus Christ, Joyful in thine appearing:

Verse 2

Now ere day fadeth quite, We see the evening light, Our wonted hymn outpouring; Father of might unknown, Thee, his incarnate Son, And Holy Spir’t 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.
