Creator of the starry height

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Creator of the starry height, thy people's everlasting light, Jesu, redeemer of us all, hear thou thy servants when they call. 2 Thou, sorrowing at the helpless cry of all creation doomed to die, didst come to save our fallen race by healing gifts of heavenly grace. 3 When earth was near its evening hour, thou didst, in love's redeeming power, like bridegroom from his chamber, come forth from a virgin-mother's womb. 4 At thy great name, exalted now, all knees in lowly homage bow; all things in heaven and earth adore, and own thee King for evermore. 5 To thee, O Holy One, we pray, our judge in that tremendous day, ward off, while yet we dwell below, the weapons of our crafty foe. 6 To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, Three in One, praise, honour, might, and glory be from age to age eternally.

O grant us calm repose in Thee, A quiet night, from perils free. 3 Our sleep be pure from sinful stain; Let not the tempter vantage gain Or our unguarded flesh surprise And make us guilty in Thine eyes. 4 Asleep though wearied eyes may be, Still keep the heart awake to Thee; Let Thy right hand outstretched above Guard those who serve the Lord they love. A-men. 5 Behold, O God, our shield, and quell The crafts and subtleties of hell; Direct Thy servants in all good, Who Thou hast purchased with Thy blood. 6 O Lord, remember us who bear The burden of the flesh we wear; Thou who dost e'er our souls defend, Be with us even to the end. 7 All praise to God the Father be, All praise, eternal Son, to Thee, Whom with the Spirit we adore Forever and forevermore. Amen. Scripture: John 8:12 Used With Tune: CONDITOR ALME SIDERUM Text Sources: Latin, 6th cent.
