Blest Creator of the light,
Making day with radiance bright,
Thou didst o�er the forming earth
Give the golden light its birth.
Shade of eve with morning ray
Took from Thee the name of day;
Darkness now is drawing nigh;
Listen to our humble cry.
May we ne�er by guilt depressed
Lose the way to endless rest;
Nor with idle thoughts and vain
Bind our souls to earth again.
Rather may we heavenward rise
Where eternal treasure lies;
Purified by grace within,
Hating every deed of sin.
Holy Father, hear our cry,
Through Thy Son our Lord most high,
Whom our thankful hearts adore
With the Spirit evermore.
