Lo! Golden Light Rekindles Day

Lo! gold­en light re­kin­dles day:

Let pal­ing dark­ness steal away

Which all too long o’er­whelmed our gaze

And led our steps by wind­ing ways.

We pray Thee

ris­ing light se­rene

E’en as Thy­self our hearts make clean;

Let no de­ceit our lips de­file

Nor let our souls be vexed by guile.

O keep us

as the hours pro­ceed

From ly­ing word and ev­il deed;

Our rov­ing eyes from sin set free

Our bo­dy from im­pur­ity.

For Thou dost from above sur­vey

The con­verse of each fleet­ing day;

Thou dost fore­see from morn­ing light

Our ev­ery deed

un­til the night.

All laud to the God the Fa­ther be

All praise

eter­nal Son

to Thee;

All glo­ry

as is ev­er meet

To God the ho­ly Pa­ra­clete.
