Hail, Gladdening Light

Hail! gladdening Light, of His pure glory poured

Who is th'immortal Father, heavenly, blest

Holiest of Holies--Jesus Christ our Lord!

Now we are come to the Sun's hour of rest;

The lights of evening round us shine;

We hymn the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit divine!

Worthiest art thou at all times to be sung

With undefiled tongue

Son of our God, giver of life, alone:

Therefore in all the world thy glories, Lord, they own. Amen
