Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies by T. Frederick H. Candlyn — 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
T. Frederick H. Candlyn's anthem, Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies, sets a powerful English text calling for Christ's presence to dispel darkness and bring spiritual light. The lyrics express a deep yearning for divine radiance to penetrate the gloom of sin and unbelief, asking for inner illumination and warmth. This SATB setting is suitable for services seeking a profound expression of faith and the transformative power of the 'Sun of Righteousness.' The anthem's message is one of supplication for spiritual awakening and the daily renewal of God's grace, leading towards a 'perfect day.'
