“Darkness is thinning”

From the Latin by John Mason Neale DARKNESS is thinning; shadows are retreating; Morning and light are coming in their beauty; Suppliant seek we, with an earnest outcry,                   God the Almighty! So that our Master, having mercy on us, May repel languor, may bestow salvation, Granting us, Father, of thy loving-kindness                   Glory hereafter! This, of his mercy, ever blessèd Godhead, Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit, give us,— Whom through the wide world celebrate forever                   Blessing and glory!
