1.	O gladsome light, O grace of our Creator's face, 
	the eternal splendor wearing; 
	celestial, holy blest, 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 blest adoring. 

3.	To you of right belongs all praise of holy songs, 
	O Son of God, lifegiver. 
	You, therefore, O Most High, the world does glorify 
	and shall exalt forever.
