13. O Gladsome Light, O Grace

1 O gladsome Light, O grace
of God the Father’s face,
the eternal splendour wearing;
celestial, holy, blest,
our Saviour Jesus Christ,
joyful in your appearing.

2 As day fades into night,
we see the evening light,
our hymn of praise outpouring,
Father of might unknown,
Christ, his incarnate Son,
and Holy Spirit adoring.

3 To you of right belongs
all praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, life-giver;
you, therefore, O Most High,
the world will glorify,
and shall exalt forever.
