Author: Robert Bridges Hymnal: HPAG1933 #A82 (1950) Meter: 6.6.7.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 O gladsome light, O Grace
Of God the Father's face,
Th' 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.
3 To Thee of right belongs
All praise of holy songs,
O Son of God, Life Giver;
Thee, therefore, O Most High,
The world doth glorify,
And shall exalt forever.
Amen. Topics: Ancient Hymns and Canticles Ancient Hymns Tune Title: NUNC DIMITTIS
