O SPLENDOUR OF GOD’S GLORY BRIGHT

LYRICS

1 O Splendour of God’s glory bright,
from light eternal bringing light,
O Light of Light, light’s living spring
true Day, all days illumining.

2 Come, very Sun of heaven’s love,
in lasting radiance from above,
and to our inward hearts convey
the Holy Spirit’s cloudless ray.

3 “Confirm our will to do the right,
and keep our hearts from envy’s blight.
Let faith its eager fires renew,
and hate the false and love the true.

4 Dawn’s glory gilds the earth and skies;
let him, our perfect morn, arise,
the Word in God the Father one
the Father imaged in the Son.
