Dark and cheerless is the morn
Without Your hand to comfort me
Joyless is the day's return
'Til Your mercy's beams I see
'Til they inward light impart
Glad my eyes and warm my heart
CHRIST, WHOSE GLORY FILLS THE SKIES
YOU ARE THE TRUE, THE ONLY LIGHT
SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, ARISE
TRIUMPH OVER SHADES OF NIGHT
YOU ARE THE LIGHT, YOU ARE THE LIGHT
Visit, then, this soul of mine
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief
Fill me, Radiancy Divine
Scatter all my unbelief
More and more Yourself display
Shining to the perfect day
Bridge:
Dayspring from on high, be near
Day-star, in my heart appear
