O gladsome light, O grace of
our Creator’s face,
The eternal splendor wearing;
celestial, holy blessed,
Our Savior Jesus Christ,
joyful in Your appearing!
As
fades the day’s last light we
see the lamps of night,
Our common hymn outpouring, O
God of might unknown,
You, the incarnate Son, and
Spirit blessed adoring.
To You of right belongs all
praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, life giver. You,
therefore, O Most High,
The world does glorify and
shall exalt forever.
