To thee our earliest morning song, To thee our hearts full powers belong; And thou, O Holy One, prevent Each following action and intent. As shades at morning flee away, And night before the star of day; So each transgression of the night Be purged by thee, celestial Light! Cut off, we pray thee, each offense, And every lust of thought and sense: That by their lips who thee adore Thou mayst be praised forevermore. Grant this, O Father ever One With Christ, thy sole-begotten Son, And Holy Ghost, whom all adore, Reigning and blest forevermore. Amen.
