1. O Splendor 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, Holy Sun of heav’nly love, rain down your radiance from above, and to our inward hearts convey the Holy Spirit’s cloudless ray.
3. O joyful be the passing day with thoughts as clear as morning’s ray, with faith like noontide shining bright, our souls unshadowed by the night.
4. O Lord, with each returning morn, your image to our heart is born; O may we ever clearly view our Savior and our God in you.
