1 O Christ, the eternal Light
Of every sun and sphere!
Illumine thou our mortal night,
And keep our spirits clear.
2 Let nothing evil smite
Nor enemy invade,
And let us stainless be, and white,
By nothing base betrayed.
3 Guard thou the hearts of all,
But chiefly of thine own;
And hold us that we may not fall,
Through thy great might alone!
4 That so our souls may sing,
When favoring light they see,
And every vow a tribute bring
To God in Trinity!
