Evensong
FOUNTAIN
of light, thyself the light unending,
Lord,
hear our prayer and, cleansing us from evil,
Take away
darkness; let thy holy radiance
Shine on
thy servants.
Now and
at the evening which brings the end of labour, Lord, who hast kept us safe in
thy protection, Grateful we offer thee our thanks and worship.
Since
then the daylight fades into the darkness, let that sun light us which
enlightens always choirs of angels in thy holy presence, light never failing.
From all
the sins which we this day committed cleanse thou our conscience, Christ our
Lord and Saviour;
So in the
night time we may rest uninjured, Safe in thy friendship.
Six days
we labour, working as thou willest; Then on the seventh resting by thine order,
We look to that day which at last shall bring us, rest everlasting.
KINDLY light
of glory, fount of light from light, blessed Jesus, coming from the Father in
heaven,
2. The
bright rays of day, the light of the sun fade; and we at the morning and
evening hour confess thee with our hymn.
3. We
praise the one God, almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit the comforter, in the
glory of the Trinity.
4. Son of
God, worthy to be glorified at all times by pure tongues, giver of life, all
ages proclaim thee.
To thee praise, to thee a hymn
is due; to thee glory, God the
Father and Son with the Holy Spirit,
for ever and ever. Amen.
