<p>Eternal Glory of the sky,<br>
|
|
Blest Hope of frail humanity,<br>
|
|
The Father’s sole begotten One,<br>
|
|
Yet born a spotless virgin’s Son!</p>
|
|
<p>Uplift us with Thine arm of might,<br>
|
|
And let our hearts rise pure and bright,<br>
|
|
And, ardent in God’s praises, pay<br>
|
|
The thanks we owe him every day.</p>
|
|
<p>The day-star’s rays are glittering clear,<br>
|
|
And tell that day itself is near:<br>
|
|
The shadows of the night depart;<br>
|
|
Thou, holy Light, illume the heart!</p>
|
|
<p>Within our senses ever dwell,<br>
|
|
And worldly darkness thence expel;<br>
|
|
Long as the days of life endure,<br>
|
|
Preserve our souls devout and pure.</p>
|
|
<p>The faith that first must be possessed,<br>
|
|
Root deep within our inmost breast;<br>
|
|
And joyous hope in second place,<br>
|
|
Then charity, Thy greatest grace.</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>
