Phos Hilaron

David Crowder · Other Songs - David Crowder

Hail gladdening light, of Your pure glory poured

Who is the immortal Father, heavenly, blest

O Holiest of Holies, Jesus Christ our Lord

And now we've come to the sun's hour of rest

The lights of evening round us shine

We hymn the Father, Son, Spirit divine



Worthiest art thou at all times to be sung

O with undefiled tongue

Son of our God, giver of life, alone

Son of our God, giver of life, alone

Son of our God, giver of life, alone

Therefore in all the world

Thy glories, Lord, thine own
