AIL, Dial  of  Achaz! On thee  the  true  sun Told backward  the  course Which from  old  he  had run!

And, that  man  might  be raised. Submitting to  shame, A little  more  low Than the  angels  became.

Thou, rapt  in  the  blaze Of His  infinite  light, Dost shine  as  the  morn On the  confines  of  night;

As the  moon  on  the  lost Through obscurity  dawns; The serpent's  destroyer! A lily  'mid  thorns!

Amen.

V. I made an unfailing light to arise in heaven.

R. And as amist I overspread the whole earth.

V. O Lady, aid, etc. (with the prayer as above).

ay Jesus Christ, thy Son, reconciled by thy prayers, O Lady! convert our hearts.
