With radiance brighter than the sun,
Pure gleam of God's unending glory,
O Jesus, blest anointed One.
2 As twilight hovers near at sunset,
And lamps are lit, and children nod,
In evening hymns we lift our voices
To Father, Spirit, Son, one God.
3 In all life's brilliant, timeless moments,
Let faithful voices sing Your praise,
O Son of God, our life-bestower,
Whose glory lightens endless days. Topics: Morning, Evening Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT Text Sources: Greek hymn, 3rd century
