O gladsome Light
O Grace Of God the Father's face
The eternal spendour wearing;

Celestial holy, blest
Our Saviour, Jesus Christ
Joyful, joyful in Thine appearing:

Now ere day fadeth quite
We see the evening light
Our wonted hymn outpouring;

Father of might unknown
Thee, His incarnate Son
And Holy Spirit adoring

To Thee of right belongs
All praise of holy songs
O Son of God, Lifegiver;

Thee, therefore, O Most High
The world doth glorify
And shall exalt for ever
