Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #177 (1997) 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 thy 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: Church Year Epiphany; Jesus Christ Light of the World Scripture: Proverbs 4:18 Languages: English Tune Title: HEATHLANDS
