JAM SOL RECEDIT IGNEUS
A recast of O Lux beata Trinitas, one of twelve hymns the Benedictine editors regard as undoubtedly the work of St. Ambrose, and which, in the older Breviaries, was used at Vespers on Saturday.

| Now sinks the fiery orb of day— O One in Three, Eternal Light, O Three in One, for ever bright, Shine in our darkened minds, we pray. | | When morning breaks, our songs we raise; When evening falls, we still adore; When morn and eve shall come no more, In mercy grant us still to praise. | | All praises to the Father be, All praise to the Eternal Son, And to the Spirit, Three in One, From age to age eternally. | |
