From the night of ages waking morning comes to heart and mind, day of grace in splendour breaking, mists and shadows fall behind; in the brightness of his glory Christ the Light of life has shined. Christ in light immortal dwelling, Word by whom the worlds were made; Light of lights, our dark dispelling, Lord of lords in light arrayed; in the brightness of his glory see the Father's love displayed. Risen Lord in radiance splendid, Christ has conquered Satan's sway; sin and shame and sorrow ended, powers of darkness flee away; in the brightness of his glory walk as children of the day. Light to lighten every nation, shining forth from shore to shore, Christ who won the world's salvation now let all the earth adore; in the brightness of his glory Light of life for evermore.
