249:Christ, whose glory fills the skies
| Tunes: | Tyndal, 285 |
| Meter: | 7.7.7.7.7.7. |
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 O disclose thy lovely face!
Quicken all my drooping powers;
Gasps my fainting soul for grace
As a thirsty land for showers.
Haste, my Lord, no more delay;
Come, my Saviour, come away.
3 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day?s return
Till thy mercy?s beams I see,
Till thou inward light impart,
Glad my eyes and warm my heart.
4 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.
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
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 O disclose thy lovely face!
Quicken all my drooping powers;
Gasps my fainting soul for grace
As a thirsty land for showers.
Haste, my Lord, no more delay;
Come, my Saviour, come away.
3 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day?s return
Till thy mercy?s beams I see,
Till thou inward light impart,
Glad my eyes and warm my heart.
4 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.
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
