All praise to Thee, in light arrayed,
Who light thy dwelling-place hast made;
A boundless ocean of bright beams
From thy all-glorious Godhead streams.
The sun in its meridian height
Is very darkness in thy sight!
Our souls, O lighten and inflame
With thought and love of thy great name!
Shine on us, Lord, new life impart;
Fresh ardours kindle in our heart,
One ray of thine all-quickening light
Breaks through the thickest clouds of night.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below,
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
