Hymns of the Early Church‎#23

Text:

Now at this evening hour

Now at this evening hour,
O Thou, my Christ, to Thee,
Thou Word of God, Eternal Light,
All grateful praises be.

From Thee the Spirit comes,
Third beam of peerless light,
And in Thyself one glorious orb
The triple rays unite.

Thy word and wisdom Thou
To lighten man hast given,
That he the splendour might reflect
That shines superb in heaven;

And having light within,
Might see Thine image bright,
And daily rise, till he himself
Is altogether light.
