1 Now that the sun is gleaming bright, Implore we, bending low, That He, the uncreated Light May guide us as we go. 2 No sinful word, nor deed of wrong, Nor thoughts that idly rove, But simple truth be on our tongue, And in our hearts be love. 3 And while the hours in order flow, O Christ, securely fence Our gates, beleaguered by the foe, The gate of every sense. 4 And grant that to Thine honour, Lord, Our daily toil may tend; That we begin it at Thy word, And in Thy favor end. Amen.
