1 O Trinity of blessed light, O Unity of princely might, the fiery sun now goes his way; shed thou within our hearts thy ray.
2 To thee our morning song of praise, to thee our evening prayer we raise; O grant us with thy saints on high to praise thee through eternity.
3 To God the Father, heavenly Light, to Christ revealed in earthly night, to God the Holy Ghost we raise our equal and unceasing praise.
