  1. 1Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
  2. Christ the true, the only Light,
  3. Sun of Righteousness, arise,
  4. Triumph o'er the shades of night;
  5. Day-spring from on high, be near;
  6. Day-star, in my heart appear.
  7. 2Dark and cheerless is the morn
  8. Unaccompanied by Thee;
  9. Joyless is the day's return
  10. Till Thy mercy's beams I see,
  11. Till Thou inward light impart,
  12. Cheer my soul, and warm my heart.
  13. 3Visit then this soul of mine;
  14. Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
  15. Fill me, Radiance divine;
  16. Scatter all my unbelief:
  17. More and more Thyself display,
  18. Shining to the perfect day.
  19. 4Amen.
