Oh, what a glorious day!
Verse 1
Oh, what a glorious day! God sent His Christ, the “true light,” Coming to men in His grace, Scattering night, giving sight, Shined, while in darkness I strayed, And, as “great light,” drew me nigh, Cleansed and forgave when I prayed; Entered me, filled me with life!
Chorus
Shining in me! Shining in me! Oh, rays of light that rise in me! Scatters my darkness that I may see, Jesus my Savior, shining in me!
Verse 2
His Word enlightens my ways; His Word the Spirit imparts; Here, as we meet face to face, Glories of Christ fill my heart! His words are spirit and life; Fill me with radiance divine! Bright Morning Star here I find; Rising in this heart of mine!
Chorus
Shining in me! Shining in me! Oh, rays of light that rise in me! Scatters my darkness that I may see, Jesus my Savior, shining in me!
Verse 3
The Triune God in me shines, Increase of glory bestows; His life and mine intertwine, Till in His image I glow! With all the saints in His light, Ruled by His sweet flow of life Till, in us no trace of night, We as that City shine bright!
Chorus
Shining in me! Shining in me! Oh, rays of light that rise in me! Scatters my darkness that I may see, Jesus my Savior, shining in me!
