1 O gladsome light, O grace of God the Father's face,
the eternal splendor wearing; celestial, holy blest,
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; Father of might unknown,
You, the Incarnate Son, and Spirit blest adoring.
3 To You of right belongs all praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, life-giver. You, therefore, O Most High,
the world does glorify and shall exalt forever.
