of our Creator's face,
the eternal splendor wearing:
celestial, holy, blest,
our Savior Jesus Christ,
joyful in your appearing.
2 As fades the day's last light,
we see the lamps of night
our common hymn outpouring;
O God of might unknown,
you, the incarnate Son,
and Spirit blest 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 does glorify
and shall exalt forever. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening; Praise of Christ; Time Used With Tune: NUNC DIMITTIS Text Sources: Phos Hilaron, Greek hymn
O Gladsome Light, O Grace
