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!
