Dark and cheerless is the morn without Your hand to comfort me Joyless is the day's return till Your mercy's beams I see Till they inward light impart, glad my eyes and warm my heart
Visit, then, this soul of mine, pierce the gloom of sin and grief Fill me, Radiancy Divine, scatter all my unbelief More and more Yourself display, shining to the perfect day
Chorus: Christ, whose glory fills the skies, You are the true, the only Light Sun of Righteousness, arise, triumph over shades of night You are the Light, You are the Light
Bridge: Dayspring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear
