O gladsome light, O grace of our Creator's face, The eternal splendor wearing; celestial, holy blessed, Our Savior Jesus Christ, joyful in Your appearing! As fades the day's last light we see the lamps of night, Our common hymn outpouring, O God of might unknown, You, the incarnate Son, and Spirit blessed adoring. To You of right belongs all praise of holy songs, O Son of God, life giver. You, therefore, O Most High, The world does glorify and shall exalt forever.
