Of our Creator’s face,
The eternal splendor wearing;
Celestial, holy, blessed,
Our Savior Jesus Christ,
Joyful in Your appearing!
2 As fades the day’s last light,
We see the lamps of night
Our common hymn outpouring;
O God of might unknown,
You, the incarnate Son,
And Spirit blessed adoring.
3 To You of right belongs
Aall praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, Life-giver;
You, therefore, O Most High,
The world does glorify
And shall exalt forever.
