 |  
              | O GOD, unchangeable and true,
 |  
              | Of all the Life and Power, |  
              | Dispensing light in silence through |  
              | Every successive hour, |  
              | Lord, brighten our declining day,
 |  
              | That it may never wane, |  
              | Till death, when all things round decay, |  
              | Brings back the morn again. |  
              | This grace on Thy redeem'd confer,
 |  
              | Father, Co-equal Son, |  
              | And Holy Ghost, the Comforter, |  
              | Eternal Three in One. |      Top | Contents
