1. O splendor of God's glory bright, From light eternal bringing light; O life, light's living spring, True day, all days illumining. 2. O Thou true Sun, on nus Thy glance Let fall in royal radiance; The Spirit's sanctifying beam Upon our earthly senses stream. 3. O joyful be the possing day With thoughts as clear as morning's ray, With faith like noontide shining bright, Our souls unshadowed by the night. 4. Dawn's glory gilds the earth and skies; Let Him, our perfect morn, arise; The Father's help His children clam, And sing the Father's glorious name. Amen.
