Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Common Praise #2 (2000) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Hymnal Title: Common Praise 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;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, 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. Topics: Morning; Lent IV Year A; Proper 4 Year B Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Languages: English Tune Title: RATISBON
