279. Oh, Gladsome Light

1 Oh, gladsome light of the Father immortal
And of the celestial,
Sacred, and blessed Jesus, our Savior!

2 Now to the sunset again you have brought us,
And, seeing the evening
Twilight, we bless you, praise you, adore you!

3 Father omnipotent! Son, our life-giver!
Spirit, our comforter!
Worthy at all times of worship and wonder.
