God of glory so bright,
to a world clothed in night,
you said, "Let there be light!"
Calling forth the dawning,
of the earth's first morning.

Refrain:
May your glory shine
to the end of time;
And today, Lord, we pray,
Fill us with your mercy!

Word that gave stars their birth,
Heaven's King, come to earth,
Blessed One, made a curse!
By your death, O Savior,
we will live forever
Refrain

Lord of angels and men,
quickly come back again!
Bring your work to an end
by your glorious dawning:
Rise, O Star of Morning!
Refrain
