| 1. O God of truth, O Lord of might,
Who ord’rest time and change aright,
Bright’ning the morn
with golden gleams,
Kindling the noonday’s fiery beams.
2. Quench Thou in us the flame of strife,
From passion’s heat preserve our life,
Our bodies keep from perils free,
And give our souls true peace in Thee.
3. Almighty Father, hear my cry
Through Jesus Christ
our Lord most high,
Who with the Holy Ghost and Thee
Doth live and reign eternally.
4. *** alt version ***
5. O God of truth, O Lord of might,
who ord'rest tim and change aright,
and send'st the early morning ray,
and light'st the glow of perfect day:
6. Extinguish thou each sinful fire,
and banish every ill desire;
and while thou keep's the body whole,
shed forth thy peace upon the soul.
7. 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.
