St Ambrose of Milan, tr. Copeland, 1848
Chapter 15
The Lord’s Day, and through the week. At Sext. Twelve o’Clock.
God of might, in truth and power
Ordering every changing hour,
Lighting up morn’s golden gleam,
Kindling noon-day’s fiery beam;
Quench the flames of strife this day,
Drive each noisome blast away,
Grant our bodies health and ease,
Keep our hearts in perfect peace.
Gracious Father, grant this boon,
Grant it, Sole Co-equal Son,
With the Spirit thron’d on high,
God through all eternity.
