Author: Robert Bridges Hymnal: The Hymnbook #61 (1955) Meter: 6.6.7.6.6.7 Hymnal Title: The Hymnbook First Line: O gladsome light, O grace Lyrics: 1 O gladsome light, O grace
Of God the Father's face,
Th' eternal splendor wearing;
Celestial, holy, blest,
Our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Joyful in Thine appearing.
2 Now, ere day fadeth quite,
We see the evening light,
Our wonted hymn outpouring;
Father of might unknown,
Thee, His incarnate Son,
And Holy Spirit adoring.
3 To Thee of right belongs
All praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, Life-giver;
Thee, therefore, O Most High,
The world doth glorify,
And shall exalt forever.
Amen. Topics: Adoration and Praise; Christ Light; Evening; God Light; Worship Evening Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-2 Tune Title: NUNC DIMITTIS
