Most holy Lord and God of heaven,
who to the glowing sky hast given
the fires that in the east are born
with gradual splendors of the morn;
who, on the fourth day, didst reveal
the sun's enkindled flaming wheel,
didst set the moon her ordered ways,
and stars their ever-winding maze;
that each in its appointed way
might separate the night from day,
and of the seasons through the year
the well-remembered signs declare:
illuminate our hearts within,
and cleanse our minds from stain of sin;
unburdened of our guilty load
may we unfettered serve our God.
O Father, that we ask be done,
through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
doth live and reign eternally.
