O Radiant Dawn

O Radiant Dawn,
splendor of eternal light, sun of justice:
come, shine on those who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death.

--Vespers antiphon

O come, thou Dayspring from on high,
And cheer us by thy drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadow put to flight.

--Latin hymn – ninth century
