Note 3 — Chapter X · THE INTERVIEW
Reading edition
Splendor of the Father's glory, Bringing light with cheering ray, Light of light and fount of brightness, Day, illuminating day! In our prayers we call thee Father, Father of eternal glory, Father of a mighty grace: Heal our errors, we implore thee! Form our struggling, vague desires; Power of spiteful spirits break; Help us in life's straits, and give us Grace to suffer for thy sake! Christ for us shall be our food; Faith in him our drink shall be; Hopeful, joyful, let us drink Soberness of ecstasy! Joyful shall our day go by, Purity its dawning light, Faith its fervid noontide glow, And for us shall be no night!
