Excerpt from A Collection of Hymns in Use at the Oratory of St. Phillip Neri, at Birmingham
Who gently blending eve with morn, And morn with eve, didst call them day' Thick ¿ows the ¿ood of darkness down; Oh, hear us as we weep and pray!
Keep thou our souls from schemes of crime; Nor guilt remorseful let them know; Nor, thinking but on things of time, Into eternal darkness go.
Teach us to knock at Heaven's high door; Teach us the prize of life to win; Teach us all evil to abhor, And purify ourselves within.
Father of mercies hear our cry; Hear us, 0 sole-begotten Son!
Who with the Holy Ghost most high, Reignest while endless ages run.
