Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Meter: 6.6.7.6.6.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O gladsome Light, O Grace
Of God the Father’s face,
Eternal splendor wearing:
Celestial, holy, blest,
Our Savior and our guest,
Joyful in your appearing.
2 Day has not faded quite;
We see the sunset light,
Our evening hymn outpouring,
Father, incarnate Son,
Who our redemption won,
Spirit of both adoring.
3 Glory to you belongs
And praise of holy songs,
O Three in One, Life-giver;
Therefore, our God most high,
We worship, glorify,
And praise your name forever. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: NUNC DIMITTIS Text Sources: Greek hymn, 3rd cent.
