Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Worshipbook #332 (1972) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: The Worshipbook Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day's return
Till thy mercy's beams I see,
Till they inward light impart,
Glad my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit, then, this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, Radiancy divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship; Service for the Lord's Day After Confession and Pardon; Service for the Lord's Day After Creed; Christian Year Advent; Christian Year Epiphany; Other Observances Christian Education Scripture: Luke 1:78-79 Tune Title: RATISBON
