<p>Jesu, the world&#8217;s redeeming Lord,<br>
The Father&#8217;s co-eternal Word,<br>
Of light invisible true Light,<br>
Thine Israel&#8217;s Keeper day and night.</p>
<p>Our great Creator and our Guide,<br>
Who times and seasons dost divide,<br>
Refresh at night with quiet rest,<br>
Our limbs by daily toil oppressed.</p>
<p>That while in this frail house of clay<br>
A little longer here we stay,<br>
Our flesh in Thee may sweetly sleep,<br>
Our souls with Thee their vigils keep.</p>
<p>We pray Thee, while we dwell below,<br>
Preserve us from our ghostly foe;<br>
Nor let his wiles victorious be<br>
O&#8217;er them that are redeemed by Thee.</p>
<p>O Lord of all, with us abide<br>
In this our joyful Eastertide;<br>
From every weapon death can wield<br>
Thine own redeemed forever shield.</p>
<p>All praise be Thine, O risen Lord,<br>
From death to endless life restored;<br>
All praise to God the Father be,<br>
And Holy Ghost eternally.</p>
