O Light of light
by love inclined
Jesu
Redeemer of mankind
With loving-kindness deign to hear
From suppliant voices praise and prayer.
Thou who to raise our souls from hell
Didst deign in fleshly form to dwell
Vouchsafe us
when our race is run
In Thy fair body to be one.
More bright by day Thy face did show
Thy raiment whiter than the snow
When on the mount to mortals blest
Man’s maker Thou was manifest.
Two prophets
that had faith to see
With Thine elect found company
Where unto each
divinely shown
The Godhead veiled in form was known.
The heavens above His glory named
The Father’s voice the Son proclaimed;
To whom
the King of glory now
All faithful hearts adoring bow.
May all who seek Thy praise aright
Through purer lives show forth Thy light;
So to the brightness of the skies
By holy deeds our hearts shall rise.
Eternal God
to Thee we raise
The King of kings
our hymn of praise
Who Three in One and One in Three
Doth live and reign eternally.
