O Glorious Light Born of the Father (Thomas A. Kempis)

  O glorious Light born of the Father,

  O bright Wisdom of God, brought forth of a virgin this night,

  grant me devoutly and worthily to tender you thanks;

  grant me to sing aloud to your name, reverently bow, humbly kneel, worshipfully adore

  and with the holy angels solemnly to chant to you, “Glory in the highest.”

  For praise and honor befit you, O Lord, Who did deign to be incarnate for our salvation.

          Amen.

THOMAS À KEMPIS (CA. 1380–1471)*
