English text
- 1.
- 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;
- Day-star, in my heart appear.
- 2.
- 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.
- 3.
- 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.
Lyrics: Charles Wesley, Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1740.
