| 1. Hail, gladdening Light,
of His pure glory poured,
Who is immortal Father,
heavenly blest;
Highest and holiest—
Jesus Christ our Lord!
Now are we come
to the sun’s hour of rest;
All times are ordered
in Thy Word alone,
Therefore the day
and night Thy glories own.
2. The lights of evening
now around us shine;
We hymn Thy blest humanity divine;
Worthiest art Thou
at all times to be sung,
By grateful hearts,
with undefilèd tongue,
Son of our God, Giver of life, alone!
Therefore shall all the worlds
Thy glories own.
