Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 475 hymnals First Line: Christ whose glory fills the skies 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 you;
Joyless is the day's return,
Till your mercy's beams I view;
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 yourself display,
Shining to the perfect day. Topics: Epiphany; Jesus Christ; Light; Morning; Renewal; Transfiguration Scripture: Luke 1:78 Used With Tune: LUCERNA LAUDONAIE
