1.O gladsome light, O grace
of our creator's face,
Th'eternal splendor wearing;
celestial, holy blessed,
Our Savior Jesus Christ,
joyful in Your appearing!

2.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.

3.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.
