1.	Father, we praise thee, now the night is over; 
	active and watchful, stand we all before thee; 
	singing, we offer prayer and meditation;
	thus we adore thee. 

2.	Monarch of all things, fit us for thy mansions; 
	banish our weakness, health and wholeness sending; 
	bring us to heaven, with thy saints united; 
	joy without ending. 

3.	All-holy Father, Son, and equal Spirit, 
	Trinity blessed, send us thy salvation; 
	thine is the glory, gleaming and resounding
	through all creation.
