St. Cecilia's Abbey, UK
1. See,
night’s shadows are already waning,
the
rosy dawn of light shines forth;
let
us all beseech the Almighty with all our strength.
2. That God, having mercy on us,
might ward off all distress, grant health
and salvation,
and with fatherly love give us the kingdom of heaven.
3. May the blessed Godhead grant this to us
–
Father, Son, and co-equal Holy Spirit –
Whose glory echoes through all the
world. Amen.
