1 Light of gladness, Lord of glory, Jesus Christ our king most holy, shine among us in your mercy: earth and heaven join their hymn. 2 Let us sing at sun's descending as we see the lights of evening, Father, Son, and Spirit praising with the holy seraphim. 3 Son of God, through all the ages worthy of our holiest praises, yours the life that never ceases, light which never shall grow dim.
