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

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.

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.
