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, Daystar, in my heart appear. |

Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by Thee; Joyless is the day’s return, Till Thy mercy’s beams I see, Till Thou inward light impart, Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. |

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. |

Powerful words of worship that overwhelm me and I find myself down on my knees and in tears each time I sing this song. Indeed "Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by Thee;
Joyless is the day’s return,
Till Thy mercy’s beams I see..." Thank you Jesus

Fill me Radiancy divine, Scatter all my unbelief, More and more Thyself display, Shining through the perfect day. - A very powerful prayer indeed.

I love this song! When I am not feeling so "spiritual" "overcoming" this song is an honest but truth-filled song that ushers me into His presence. Dark and cheerless is the morn unaccompanied by thee....so very true. Oh Lord impart Your inward light!
