Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #873 (2006) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true and 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.
Scripture: John 8:12 Languages: English Tune Title: RATISBON
Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
