Anthem text
O splendor of God’s glory bright,
O thou that bringest light from light;
O Light of light, light’s living spring,
O day, all days illumining.

O thou true Sun, on us thy glance
let fall in royal radiance;
the Spirit’s sanctifying beam
Upon our earthly senses stream.

Creator, too, our prayers implore,
Creator of glory evermore;
Creator of all grace and might,
to banish sin from our delight.

To guide whate’er we nobly do,
with love all envy to subdue;
to make ill fortune turn to fair,
and give us grace our wrongs to bear.

--Ambrose of Milan, 4th cent.; tr. by Robert S. Bridges, 1899, alt.

review copy

Description In this anthem, Ambrose of Milan’s grand text is set to a plainsong-like melody and treated in several contrasting ways, before a large conclusion.
