|
|
<p>Ye clouds and darkness, hosts of night,<br>
|
|
That breed confusion and affright,<br>
|
|
Begone! o’erhead the dawn shines clear,<br>
|
|
The light breaks in, and Christ is here.
|
|
<p>Earth’s gloom flees broken and dispersed,<br>
|
|
By the sun’s piercing shafts coerced:<br>
|
|
The day-star’s eyes rain influence bright,<br>
|
|
And colors glimmer back to sight.</p>
|
|
<p>Thee, Christ, alone we know; to Thee<br>
|
|
We bend in pure simplicity;<br>
|
|
Our songs with tears to Thee arise;<br>
|
|
Prove Thou our hearts with Thy clear eyes.</p>
|
|
<p>Though we be stained with blots within,<br>
|
|
Thy quickening rays shall purge our sin;<br>
|
|
Light of the Morning Star, Thy grace<br>
|
|
Shed on us from Thy cloudless face.</p>
|
|
<p>All laud to God the Father be,<br>
|
|
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;<br>
|
|
All glory, as is ever meet,<br>
|
|
To God the holy Paraclete.</p>
