O splendour of God’s glory bright,
Who bringest forth the light from light;
O Light of light, light’s fountain-spring;
O Day, our days enlightening;
Come, very Sun of truth and love,
Come in Thy radiance from above,
And shed the Holy Spirit’s ray
On all we thing or do to-day.
Likewise to Thee our prayers ascend,
Father of glory without end,
Father of sovereign grace, for power
To conquer in temptation’s hour.
Teach us to work with all our might;
Beat back the devil’s threatening spite;
Turn all to good that seems most ill;
Help us our calling to fulfil.
All praise to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to thee,
Whom with the Spirit we adore,
For ever and for evermore.
