English text
Author of light, revive my dying spright!
Redeeme it from the snares of all-confounding night!
Lord, light me to thy blessed way:
for blinde with worldly vain desires I wander as a stray.
Sunne and Moone, starres and under-lights I see:
But all their glorious beames are mists
and darknesse, being compared to thee.
