CXVII + 

Morning + 

From St. Gregory Nazianzen + 

I rise and raise my clasped hands to Thee! + 

Henceforth, the darkness hath no part in me, + 

Thy sacrifice this day; + 

Abiding firm, and with a freeman’s might + 

Stemming the waves of passion in the fight;⁠— + 

Ah, should I from Thee stray, + 

My hoary head, Thy table where I bow, + 

Will be my shame, which are mine honour now. + 

Thus I set out;⁠—Lord! lead me on my way! + 
