O God of Truth, O Lord of Might
}
O God of truth, O Lord of might,
Who orderest time and change aright,
And send'st the early morning ray,
And light'st the glow of perfect day:

Extinguish Thou each sinful fire,
And banish every ill desire;
And while Thou keep'st the body whole.
Shed forth Thy peace upon the soul.

O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.
