Christ, whose glory fills the skies by Douglas Walczak — Lyrics
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

About Christ, whose glory fills the skies
Douglas Walczak has set Charles Wesley's well-known hymn text, Christ, whose glory fills the skies, for SATB choir. This sacred anthem is in English and draws upon the rich tradition of congregational singing, offering a devotional reflection. The text speaks of Christ as the true light, the dayspring and day-star, imploring him to dispel darkness, sin, and grief. It expresses a yearning for divine radiance to fill the believer's heart and mind, leading to a complete manifestation of Christ's presence. The setting is suitable for services seeking a text of spiritual awakening and reliance on divine illumination.
