Christ, Whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise, triumph oer the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear.

Dark and cheerless is the morn unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the days return till Thy mercys 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.
