Hymn
Kind Maker of the stars above,
Eternal light of faithful souls,
Jesus, Redeemer of mankind,
Our humble prayers vouchsafe to mind.
Who, lest the fraud of hell’s black king
Should all men to destruction bring,
Didst, by an act of generous love,
The fainting world’s physician prove.
Who, that thou mightst our ransom pay
And wash the stains of sin away,
From Virgin’s womb unto the cross
Didst go, a spotless sacrifice.
Whose glorious power, whose saving name
No sooner any voice can frame,
But those in heaven and those below
Bow trembling at thy majesty.
Thee, Christ, who at the latter day
Shalt be our Judge, we humbly pray
Such arms of heavenly grace to send
As may thy Church from foes defend.
Be glory given and honour done
To God the Father and the Son
And to the Holy Ghost on high,
From age to age eternally.
Amen.
℣ Drop down dew, you heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down the Just One.
℟ Let the earth open and bring forth the Savior.
