Evening Hymn

O gladsome Light,

O Grace Of God the Father's face,

The eternal spendour wearing;

Celestial holy, blest,

Our Saviour, Jesus Christ,

Joyful, joyful in Thine appearing:

Now ere day fadeth quite,

We see the evening light,

Our wonted hymn outpouring;

Father of might unknown,

Thee, His incarnate Son,

And Holy Spirit adoring.

To Thee of right belongs

All praise of holy songs,

O Son of God, Lifegiver;

Thee, therefore, O Most High,

The world doth glorify,

And shall exalt for ever.
