\nO Light that knew no dawn,
\nThat shines to endless day,
\nAll things in earth and heav\u2019n
\nAre brightened by thy ray;
\nNo eye can to thy throne ascend,
\nNor mind thy brightness comprehend.

\nGrant me thy voice to hear;
\nFrom sin thy child in mercy free,
\nAnd let me dwell in light with thee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
