Hymnal 1982 ‎#S59

S59. O gracious Light

1. O gracious Light,
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!

2. Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

3. You are worthy at all times
to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.
