Christ, whose glory fills the skies

1
Christ, whose glory fills the skies, 
Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of righteousness, arise, 
triumph over the shades of night. 
Day-spring from on high, be near; 
Daystar, in my heart appear. 

2
Dark and cheerless is the morn 
unaccompanied by thee. 
Joyless is the day's return 
till thy mercy's beams I see. 
Till they inward light impart, 
glad my eyes and warm my heart. 

3
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.
