Commissioned by the Park City Community Church, this setting of the traditional hymntext "Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies" is very accessible work for the singers and audience. This is the first in a series of choral works that celebrate traditional hymns. Two versions of this work are available: The original scored for SATB, piano, and brass quartet and a version for SATB and organ.

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.
