Most Holy Lord and God of Heaven

 

VERSE 1

Most holy Lord and God of Heaven,

Who to the glowing sky hast given

The fires that in the east are born

With gradual splendors of the morn;

 

VERSE 2

Who, on the fourth day, didst reveal

The sun’s enkindled flaming wheel,

Didst set the moon her ordered ways,

And stars their ever winding maze;

 

VERSE 3

That each in its appointed way

Might separate night from day,

And of the seasons through the year

The well remembered signs declare;

 

VERSE 4

Illuminate our hearts within,

And cleanse our minds from stain of sin;

Unburdened of our guilty load

May we unfettered serve our God.

 

VERSE 5

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;

Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.
