Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #2 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the 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. Topics: Church Year Trinity; Jesus Names and images for; Light; Morning; Proper 4 Year B; The Fourth Sunday of Lent Year A; The Second Sunday before Advent Year C; The Sunday next before Lent Years A, B & C Scripture: Psalm 19 Languages: English Tune Title: RATISBON
