St Ambrose of Milan, tr. Copeland, 1848

Chapter 5

The Seventh Day. At Vespers.

The fiery sun is gone,
 Oh, never-waning Light,
All-Holy Three, Thrice-Blessed One,
 Shed forth Thy Presence bright.

To Thee our lauds at morn,
 Our vespers rise at even,
Oh, grant us, hence by Angels borne,
 To join their chant in Heaven.

To the Great Father, Son,
 And Holy Spirit Blest,
As in old time, while ages run,
 All glory be addrest.
