1. O splendor of God's glory bright,
who bringest forth the light from light,
O Light of Light, the fountain-spring,
O Day, our days illumining;

2. Come, very sun of truth and love
Come in thy radiance from above,
And shed the holy spirit's ray
On all we think or do today.

3. Teach us to work with all our
might;
Put satan's fierce assaults to fright:
Turn all to good that seems most ill;
Help us our calling to fulfil.

4. O joyful be the livelong day,
Our thoughts as pure as morning
ray,
Our faith like noonday’s glowing
height,
Our souls undimmed by shades of
Night.

5. All praise to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to thee,
Whom with the Spirit we adore
For ever and for evermore
