|
<p>Blest Creator of the light,<br>
|
|
Making day with radiance bright,<br>
|
|
Thou didst o’er the forming earth<br>
|
|
Give the golden light its birth.</p>
|
|
<p>Shade of eve with morning ray<br>
|
|
Took from Thee the name of day;<br>
|
|
Darkness now is drawing nigh;<br>
|
|
Listen to our humble cry.</p>
|
|
<p>May we ne’er by guilt depressed<br>
|
|
Lose the way to endless rest;<br>
|
|
Nor with idle thoughts and vain<br>
|
|
Bind our souls to earth again.</p>
|
|
<p>Rather may we heavenward rise<br>
|
|
Where eternal treasure lies;<br>
|
|
Purified by grace within,<br>
|
|
Hating every deed of sin.</p>
|
|
<p>Holy Father, hear our cry,<br>
|
|
Through Thy Son our Lord most high,<br>
|
|
Whom our thankful hearts adore<br>
|
|
With the Spirit evermore.</p>
