Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #5 (1998) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 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. Topics: Morning; Jesus Christ, Light; Light Scripture: Psalm 34 Languages: English Tune Title: RATISBON
