132. Lauds—Sunday
|
{229}
Ecce jam noctis. |
PALER have grown the shades of night, |
| And nearer draws the day, |
| Checkering the sky with streaks of light, |
| Since we began to pray: |
To pray for mercy when we sin, |
| For cleansing and release, |
| For ghostly safety, and within |
| For everlasting peace. |
Praise to the Father, as is meet, |
| Praise to the Only Son, |
| Praise to the Holy Paraclete, |
| While endless ages run. |
