Lo, the dim shadows of the night are waning; Lightsome and blushing, dawn of day returneth; Fervent in spirit, to the world's Creator Pray we devoutly: That He may pity sinners in their sighing, Banish all troubles, kindly health bestowing; And may He grant us, of His countless blessings, Peace that is endless. This be our portion, God forever blessèd, Father eternal, Son, and Holy Spirit, Whose is the glory, which through all creation Ever resoundeth.
