Rh

Fountain of bliss, essential sight, Emitting splendor's orient beam, The world's creation to proclaim.


 * Who, with the morn's enliv'ning ray,

Dispellst the shades and call'st the day: Approaching night o'erspreads the spheres, Now gracious hear our sighs and tears.


 * Disdained with guilt and foul offence,

Let not a sudden summons hence, Present us at Thy awful seat, Victims of fleeting vain deceit.
