Christ,
whose glory fills the skies,
Christ,
the true, the only Light,
Sun
of Righteousness arise,
Triumph
o’er the shades of night.
Dayspring
from on high, be near;
Daystar,
in my heart appear.
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.
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.
