Brightness of the Father's Glory

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Brightness of the Father’s glory,

Light from Light, eternal Son;

Morning dawn of endless mercy,

Day from which all days are sprung.

[Verse 2]

O true and everlasting Sun,

Pour down Your holy flame;

Shine with the Spirit’s living fire,

And set our hearts ablaze.

[Pre-Chorus]

O Father, Lord of endless grace,

Remove the stains of sin;

Shape every work our hands may touch,

And light our hearts within.

[Chorus]

Shine, O Christ, through all we are,

Let faith burn bright, let hope reach far;

You are the flame that will not fade—

The dawn by which we’re made.

[Verse 3]

Direct our minds, our bodies keep

In purity and peace;

Let faith burn warm, let love be strong,

Let every shadow cease.

[Bridge]

With Christ our food, our bread and wine,

The Spirit’s song our rest;

A sober joy, a holy fire,

Alive within our chest.

[Final Chorus]

Shine, O Christ, through all we are,

Let faith burn bright, let hope reach far;

You are the flame that will not fade—

The dawn by which we’re made.

[Outro]

Rise within us, radiant Lord,

Through Father and through Word;

Till all the world reflects Your light—

The brightness of the Lord.
