Oh, what a glorious day!

Oh

what a glorious day!

God sent His Christ

the “true light

”

Coming to men in His grace

Scattering night

giving sight

Shined

while in darkness I strayed

And

as “great light

” drew me nigh

Cleansed and forgave when I prayed;

Entered me

filled me with life!

Shining in me! Shining in me!

Oh

rays of light that rise in me!

Scatters my darkness that I may see

Jesus my Savior

shining in me!

His Word enlightens my ways;

His Word the Spirit imparts;

Here

as we meet face to face

Glories of Christ fill my heart!

His words are spirit and life;

Fill me with radiance divine!

Bright Morning Star here I find;

Rising in this heart of mine!

The Triune God in me shines

Increase of glory bestows;

His life and mine intertwine

Till in His image I glow!

With all the saints in His light

Ruled by His sweet flow of life

Till

in us no trace of night

We as that City shine bright!
