That second Easter morn Will spring to life and light, For evermore to dawn, No more to sink in night. Earth's sun shall run his course, But LIGHT OF LIGHTS, their source, Blest, blissful Tri-une Light, The saints reflect but Thee; Keep Thou the Church oil bright, Lumen de Lumine! God of God one alone, Persons Three-equal each, Deum de Deo-one Still deign meek babes to teach. With Thee there is no night, Thrice Blessed Three in One; Hail, UNCREATed Light, For Thou art God alone! Holy Souls departed Oil in your lamps, May Eternal Light enlighten you. THE city hath no need of the sun nor of the moon to shine in it. For the glory of God hath enlightened it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof. And the nations shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates thereof shall not be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.-Apocalypse. Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man. Blessed be the name of Jesus. Blessed be Jesus in the most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy. Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints. |
