O Savior of our fallen race,
O Brightness of the Father's face,
O Son who shared
the Father's might
before the world knew day or night.
O Jesus, very Light of Light,
our constant star
in sin's deep night;
now hear the prayers
your people pray
throughout the world this holy day.
Remember, Lord of life and grace,
how once, to save our fallen race,
you put our human vesture on
and came to us as Mary's son.
Today, as year by year its light
bathes all the world
in radiance bright,
one precious truth
out shines the sun;
salvation comes from you alone.
For from the Father's
throne you came,
his banished children to reclaim;
and earth and sea and sky revere
the love of him who sent you here.
O Christ, Redeemer virgin-born,
let songs of praise
your Name adorn,
whom with the Father we adore
and Holy Spirit ever-more.
