St Ambrose of Milan, tr. Copeland, 1848
Chapter 16
The Lord’s Day, and through the week. At Nones. Three o’Clock.
God, of all the Strength and Stay,
Who, unmov’d, dost motion sway,
Dost the day-light hours divide,
And in due succession guide;
Give at eve Thy sunshine bright,
Shed o’er death Thine holy light;
So our day may ne’er go down,
So our life may glory crown.
Gracious Father, grant this boon,
Grant it, Sole Co-equal Son,
With the Spirit thron’d on high,
God through all eternity.
