O Brightness of the immortal Father's face, Most holy, heavenly, blest, Lord Jesus Christ, in whom his truth and grace Are visibly expressed: | The sun is sinking now, and one by one The lamps of evening shine; We hymn the eternal Father, and the Son, And Holy Ghost divine. | Worthy art thou at all times to receive Our hallowed praises, Lord. O Son of God, be thou, in whom we live, Through all the world adored. | |
