1 Father, we praise you, now the night is over;
Active and watchful, stand we all before you;
Singing, we offer prayer and meditation:
Thus we adore you.
2 Monarch of all things, fit us for your mansions;
Banish our weakness, health and wholeness sending;
Bring us to heaven, where your saints united
Joy without ending.
3 All holy Father, Son and equal Spirit,
Trinity blessed, send us your salvation;
Yours is the glory, gleaming and resounding
Through all creation.
Amen.
