Samuel Sebastian Wesley - Day-star - текст песни (слова)

1. 
 
 
 
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; 
Day-star, in my heart appear. 
2. 
 
 
 
Dark and cheerless is the morn 
Unaccompanied by Thee; 
Joyless is the day's return 
Till Thy mercy's beams I see; 
Till they inward light impart, 
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. 
3. 
 
 
 
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. 

 Lyrics: Charles Wes­ley, Hymns and Spir­it­u­al Songs, 1740.
