Lyrics
Christ, the glory of the sky,Christ, of earth the hope secure,
Only Son of God most high,
Offspring of a maiden pure.
Purest Light, with in us dwell,
Never from our souls depart;
Come, the shades of earth expel,
Fill and purify the heart. {b is)
Help us now Thy praise to sing,
Praise for this returning day;
Light and life let morning bring,
Clouds and darkness flee away.
Faith in Him,Whose name we bear,
In our heart of hearts abound!
Hope, thy brightest torch prepare;
All with holy love be crowned.
Praise the Father-, praise the Son,
Spirit blest, to Thee be praise!
To the eternal Three in One,
Glory be through endless days.
