O Light of Light, Love given birth

O Light of light, Love given birth;
Jesus, Redeemer of the earth:
more bright than day your face did show,
your raiment whiter than the snow.

Two prophets, who had faith to see,
with your elect found company;
the heavens above your glory named,
the Father's voice his Son proclaimed;

May all who seek to praise aright
through purer lives show forth your light.
To you, the King of glory, now
all faithful hearts adoring bow.
