Six 7's [18]Ratisbon: Werner's Choralbuch, 1815 Charles Wesley, 1740 Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only Light, Sun of Righteousness, arise! Triumph o'er the shades of night: Day-spring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear. 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. 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. Amen. |
