<p>O splendor of God’s glory bright,<br>
|
|
O Thou that bringest light from light;<br>
|
|
O Light of light, light’s living spring,<br>
|
|
O day, all days illumining.</p>
|
|
<p>O Thou true Sun, on us Thy glance<br>
|
|
Let fall in royal radiance;<br>
|
|
The Spirit’s sanctifying beam<br>
|
|
Upon our earthly senses stream.</p>
|
|
<p>The Father, too, our prayers implore,<br>
|
|
Father of glory evermore;<br>
|
|
The Father of all grace and might,<br>
|
|
To banish sin from our delight.</p>
|
|
<p>To guide whate’er we nobly do,<br>
|
|
With love all envy to subdue;<br>
|
|
To make ill fortune turn to fair,<br>
|
|
And give us grace our wrongs to bear.</p>
|
|
<p>Our mind be in His keeping placed<br>
|
|
Our body true to Him and chaste,<br>
|
|
Where only faith her fire shall feed,<br>
|
|
To burn the tares of Satan’s seed.</p>
|
|
<p>And Christ to us for food shall be,<br>
|
|
From Him our drink that welleth free,<br>
|
|
The Spirit’s wine, that maketh whole,<br>
|
|
And, mocking not, exalts the soul.</p>
|
|
<p>Morn in her rosy car is borne;<br>
|
|
Let Him come forth our perfect morn,<br>
|
|
The Word in God the Father one,<br>
|
|
The Father perfect in the Son.</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>

|
<p>O splendor of God’s glory bright,<br>
|
|
From light eternal bringing light,<br>
|
|
Thou Light of light, light’s living Spring,<br>
|
|
True Day, all days illumining.</p>
|
|
<p>Come, very Sun of heaven’s love,<br>
|
|
In lasting radiance from above,<br>
|
|
And pour the Holy Spirit’s ray<br>
|
|
On all we think or do today.</p>
|
|
<p>And now to Thee our pray’rs ascend,<br>
|
|
O Father glorious without end;<br>
|
|
We plead with Sovereign Grace for pow’r<br>
|
|
To conquer in temptation’s hour.</p>
|
|
<p>Confirm our will to do the right,<br>
|
|
And keep our hearts from envy’s blight;<br>
|
|
Let faith her eager fires renew,<br>
|
|
And hate the false, and love the true.</p>
|
|
<p>O joyful be the passing day<br>
|
|
With thoughts as pure as morning’s ray,<br>
|
|
With faith like noontide shining bright,<br>
|
|
Our souls unshadowed by the night.</p>
|
|
<p>Dawn’s glory gilds the earth and skies,<br>
|
|
Let Him, our prefect Morn, arise,<br>
|
|
The Word in God the Father one,<br>
|
|
The Father imaged by the Son.</p>
