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. | |||

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.
