| Text: | Father, We Praise Thee, Now the Night Is Over |
| Author: | Gregory I, 540-604 |
| Translator: | Percy Dearmer |
| Tune: | CHRISTE SANCTORUM |
1 Father, we praise Thee, now the night is over;
Active and watchful, stand we all before Thee;
Singing, we offer prayer and meditation:
Thus we adore Thee.
2 Monarch of all things, fit us for Thy mansions;
Banish our weakness, health and wholeness sending;
Bring us to heaven, where Thy saints united
Joy without ending.
3 All holy Father, Son and equal Spirit,
Trinity blessed, send us Thy salvation;
Thine is the glory, gleaming and resounding
Through all creation.
Amen.
