Full Lyrics
For while all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her swift course;
The Almighty Word of the Lord came down from His royal throne.
He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ, the true, the only Light,
Sun of Righteousness, arise,
Triumph o'er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
Visit then this soul of mine,
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, radiancy divine,
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.
Amen.
