Author: Ambrose of Milan (340-397) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:8 Lyrics: 1 O Splendor of God's glory bright,
From light eternal bringing light;
Thou Light of life, light's living Spring,
True Day, all days illumining.
2 Confirm our will to do the right,
And keep our hearts from envy's blight;
Let faith her eager fires renew,
And hate the false, and love the true.
3 O joyful be the passing day
With thoughts as clear as morning's ray,
With faith like noon-tide shining bright,
Our souls unshadowed by the night.
4 Dawn's glory gilds the earth and skies;
Do Thou, our perfect Morn, arise;
The Father's help His children claim,
And sing the Father's glorious name.
Amen. Topics: Christ Light; Faith; God Light; MORNING; Worship Morning Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR Text Sources: Tr. composite
