O blest Creator of the light

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #150a (1986) Lyrics: 1 O blest Creator of the light, Who makest day with radiance bright, And o’er the forming world didst call The light from chaos first of all; 2 Whose wisdom joined in meet array The morn and eve, and named them Day: Night comes with all its darkling fears; Regard thy people’s prayers and tears: 3 Lest, sunk in sin and whelm'd with strife, They lose the gift of endless life; While, thinking but the thoughts of time, They weave new chains of guilt and crime. 4 But grant them grace that they may strain The heavenly gate and prize to gain: Each harmful lure aside to cast, And purge away each error past. 5 O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son, Who with the Spirit and with thee Doth live and reign eternally. Amen. Topics: Office Hymn Sunday evening; The Christian Year From Trinity Sunday to Advent Languages: English Tune Title: LUCIS CREATOR
