Author: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #220 (1958) Lyrics: 1 O gladsome light, O grace
Of God the Father’s face,
The eternal splendor wearing;
Celestial, holy, blest,
Our Saviour Jesus Christ,
Joyful in thine appearing!
2 Now, ere day fadeth quite,
We see the evening light,
Our wonted hymn outpouring;
Father of might unknown,
Thee, his incarnate Son,
And Holy Ghost adoring. A-men.
3 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.
Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - Evening Languages: English Tune Title: NUNC DIMITTIS
O gladsome light, O grace
