Tune: | PSALM 135 (MINISTRES DE L'ÉTERNEL) |
Arranger: | Claude Goudimel |
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;
Daystar, 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.
