O God of truth, O Lord of might,
Who or­der­est time and change aright,
Brightening the morn with gold­en gleams,
Kindling the noon­day’s fie­ry beams.

Quench Thou in us the flame of strife,
From pas­sion’s heat pre­serve our life,
Our bo­dies keep from per­ils free,
And give our souls true peace in Thee.

Almighty Fa­ther, hear my cry
Through Je­sus Christ our Lord most high,
Who with the Ho­ly Ghost and Thee
Doth live and reign eter­nal­ly.
