CREATOR OF THE STARS OF NIGHT

​

Creator of the stars of night,

Thy people's everlasting Light:

O Christ, Redeemer, save us all

And hear Thy servants

when they call.

Thou, grieving that

the ancient curse

Should doom to death a universe,

Hast found the healing full of grace

To cure and save our ruined race.

Thou cam'st the Bridegroom

of the bride,

As drew the world to even-tide,

The spotless Victim all divine,

Proceeding from a virgin shrine.

​

At whose dread name,

majestic now,

All knees must bend,

all hearts must bow,

All things celestial Thee shall own,

And things terrestial, Lord alone.

​

O Thou, whose coming

is with dread

To judge the living and the dead,

Preserve us from the ancient foe

While still we dwell

on earth below.

To God the Father and the Son,

And Holy Spirit, Three in One,

Praise, honor, might and glory be

From age to age eternally.
