Author: Ambrose of Milan (340-397) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #A84 (1950) Lyrics: 1 O Splendor of God's glory bright,
From Light eternal bringing light,
Thou Light of life, light's living Spring,
True Day, all days illumining.
2 Come, very Sun of heaven's love,
In lasting radiance from above,
And pour the Holy Spirit's ray
On all we think or do today.
3 Confirm our will to do the right,
And keep our hearts from envy's blight;
Let faith her eager fires renew,
And hate the false, and love the true.
4 Dawn's glory gilds the earth and skies,
Let Him, our perfect Morn, arise,
The Word, in God the Father One,
The Father, imaged in the Son.
Amen. Topics: Ancient Hymns and Canticles Plain Songs Tune Title: PROPER SARUM (MODE I)
