O Gracious Light Who Fills The Skies

O Gracious Light who fills the skies is a hymn composed by Mellar Servus. It was recorded in his personal journal with the alternate title, "A Hymn for the Morning."

Text
O Gracious Light who fills the skies, Your pilgrim church lifts up her eyes, And sees the rising of the sun. Now from the east thy glories come.

Indeed, thy people wait in awe Upon this doorstep of the morn. Night's shadows flee from thy blest rays, Our refuge now from age to age.

Now, rising Sun, your people pray, For health and help this holy day. Thy blessed Dawn thy people greet. Thy Church, thy glories ever seek.
