Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck - O Gladsome Light - текст песни (слова)

1. O gladsome light, O grace
  Of God the Father's face,
  The eternal splendour wearing;
  Celestial, holy, blest,
  Our Saviour Jesus Christ,
  Joyful in thine appearing.
 
 2. Now, ere day fadeth quite, 
  We see the evening light,
  Our wonted hymn outpouring;
  Father of might unknown,
  Thee, his incarnate Son,
  and Holy Spirit adoring.
 
 3. To thee of right belongs 
  All praise of holy songs, 
  O Son of God, Lifegiver; 
  Thee, therefore, O Most High,
  The world doth glorify, 
  And shall exalt for ever.
