Guest guest Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 TE DEUM SESTINAMy hymn is sung to that great and holy One,Who dwells in splendour, a radiant light,That shines in every heart, and every SunOf Self-effulgent beauty, blazing bright.Thou art All, and Thy mighty will be done!Make our actions worthy in Thy holy sight.Oh Lord, we pray to keep Thee ever in our sight,Oh Thou, whom we adore, our God, the holy One.Thy rays of grace and love are always brightIn strength and power, as in the golden Sun.Keep us from wavering, fix our hearts on light,Thou art All, and Thy mighty will be done!Thou art All and Thy mighty will be done!Not foolish will of ego, lest it darkens sightAnd screens us from Thee, oh majestic One.Thy blinding brilliance of eternity brightIs stronger, deeper, than summer’s noon-day Sun.Let’s bathe in Thy blissful balm of blessed light.Lead us from nescient dark to conscious light!Thou art All, and Thy mighty will be done!And ever mindful, we’re resting in Thy sight;Thou art father, mother, friend, oh holy One,Thy perennial fire is shining clear and bright,Deep in our hearts, flames Thy splendid inward Sun.Thou within us, who hides, is also in the Sun,Dark clouds are dispelled by thy beacon light.On bended knee we praise Thee, primordial One,Who through grace revealed, demists our frosted sight.Thou art All, and Thy mighty will be done!Polish the mirrors of our souls, make them bright.Oh jewel of faith, that sparkles diamond bright,,And shines fiercely like our bosom friend, the Sun,Thaw our frigid hearts with warmth and light,Thou art All and Thy mighty will be done!Oh, let our deeds be worthy in Thy holy sight,To hymn our love for Thee, oh great and holy One.Praise to the wondrous One, burning beryl bright,Make Thy wisdom light to guide us, as the Sun,And may Thy will be done, in Thy all knowing sight!Alan Jacobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
