Thessalonians 4:9-11. Matthew
25:14-30
‘Love of the Father,
love of God the Son,
From whom all came, in Whom
was all begun,
Who formest heavenly beauty
out of strife,
Creation’s whole desire
and breath of life.
Thou the all-holy,Thou supreme
in might,
Thou dost give peace, Thy
Presence maketh right:
Thou with Thy favour all things
dost enfold,
With Thy all-kindness free
from harm wilt hold.
Hope of all comfort, splendour
of all aid,
Thou dost not fail nor leave
the heart afraid:
To all that cry Thou dost
Thy help accord,
The Angels’ armour and
the Saints’ reward.
Purest and highest, wisest
and most just,
There is no truth save only
in Thy trust;
Thou dost the mind from earthly
dreams recall
And bring through Christ to
Him, for whom are all.
Eternal Glory, all men Thee
adore,
Who art and shall be worshipped
evermore.
Us whom Thou madest, comfort
with Thy might,
And lead us to enjoy Thy heavenly
light’.
Amor, Patris et Filii. (12th
cent)
