|
<p>O blest Creator of the light,<br>
|
|
Who mak’st the day with radiance bright,<br>
|
|
And o’er the forming world didst call<br>
|
|
The light from chaos first of all.</p>
|
|
<p>Whose wisdom joined in meet array<br>
|
|
The morn and eve, and named them day:<br>
|
|
Night comes with all its darkling fears;<br>
|
|
Regard Thy people’s prayers and tears.</p>
|
|
<p>Lest, sunk in sin, and whelmed with strife,<br>
|
|
They lose the gift of endless life;<br>
|
|
While thinking but the thoughts of time,<br>
|
|
They weave new chains of woe and crime.</p>
|
|
<p>But grant them grace that they may strain<br>
|
|
The heavenly gate and prize to gain:<br>
|
|
Each harmful lure aside to cast,<br>
|
|
And purge away each error past.</p>
|
|
<p>O Father, that we ask be done,<br>
|
|
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;<br>
|
|
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,<br>
|
|
Doth live and reign eternally.</p>
