Lum. Amen

V. Dirigatur, Domine, o ratio mea.

R. Sicut incensum in conspectu tuo. And morn with eve didst call them day : Thick flows the flood of darkness down; Oh, hear us as we weep and prayl 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, O sole-begotten Son! Who with the Holy Ghost most high, Reignest while endless ages run. Amen
