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;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
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.
Performance Considerations
"Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies" was written specifically with the diversity of church music resources in mind. Ideally, this work should be performed with the given instrumentation; however, directors should feel free to substitute instruments in order to accommodate the their particular circumstance. The choral score reduces the brass instrumentation so that with a little planning an accompanist can cover all of the brass parts either on organ or piano. Contact the publisher directly to receive additional parts or to have parts transcribed for other instruments by emailing sales@redearthpublishing.com
