Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #247 (1986) Meter: 6.6.7.6.6.7 Hymnal Title: The New English Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O gladsome light, O grace
Of God the Father’s face,
The eternal splendour 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 Spirit adoring.
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. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Languages: English Tune Title: NUNC DIMITTIS
O gladsome light, O grace
