<p>O splendor of God&#8217;s glory bright,<br>
O Thou that bringest light from light;<br>
O Light of light, light&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;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&#8217;s seed.</p>
<p>And Christ to us for food shall be,<br>
From Him our drink that welleth free,<br>
The Spirit&#8217;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>

<div class="lyrics">
<p>O splendor of God&#8217;s glory bright,<br>
From light eternal bringing light,<br>
Thou Light of light, light&#8217;s living Spring,<br>
True Day, all days illumining.</p>
<p>Come, very Sun of heaven&#8217;s love,<br>
In lasting radiance from above,<br>
And pour the Holy Spirit&#8217;s ray<br>
On all we think or do today.</p>
<p>And now to Thee our pray&#8217;rs ascend,<br>
O Father glorious without end;<br>
We plead with Sovereign Grace for pow&#8217;r<br>
To conquer in temptation&#8217;s hour.</p>
<p>Confirm our will to do the right,<br>
And keep our hearts from envy&#8217;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&#8217;s ray,<br>
With faith like noontide shining bright,<br>
Our souls unshadowed by the night.</p>
<p>Dawn&#8217;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>
