Author: Robert Bridges Hymnal: The Worshipbook #494 (1972) Meter: 6.6.7 D Hymnal Title: The Worshipbook Lyrics: 1 O gladsome Light, O Grace
Of God the Father's face,
Th'eternal splendor wearing;
Celestial, holy, blest,
Our Savior 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, Life-giver;
Thee, therefore, O Most High,
The world doth glorify,
And shall exalt forever.
Amen. Topics: Service for the Lord's Day Opening of Worship; Service for the Lord's Day Conclusion of Worship; Christian Year Christmas Scripture: John 1:9 Tune Title: NUNC DIMITTIS
