\nChrist, whose glory fills the skies,
\nChrist, the true, the only light,
\nSun of Righteousness, arise,
\ntriumph o’er the shades of night;
\nDayspring from on high, be near;
\nDaystar, in my heart appear.<\/p>\n
2
\nDark and cheerless is the morn
\nunaccompanied by thee;
\njoyless is the day’s return,
\ntill thy mercy’s beams I see;
\ntill they inward light impart,
\ncheer my eyes and warm my heart.<\/p>\n
3
\nVisit then this soul of mine;
\npierce the gloom of sin and grief;
\nfill me, Radiancy divine,
\nscatter all my unbelief;
\nmore and more thyself display,
\nshining to the perfect day.<\/p>\n
