O Radiant Light, O Sun Divine
1. O radiant Light, O Sun divine,
Of God the Father's deathless face,
O image of the Light sublime,
That fills the heavenly dwelling place,
2. O Son of God, the source of life,
Praise is Your due by night and day.
Our happy lips must raise the strain
Of Your esteemed and splendid name.
3. Lord Jesus Christ, as daylight fades,
As shine the lights of eventide,
We praise the Father with the Son,
The Spirit blest and with them one.
Amen.
