THE TRANSFIGURATION - LAUDS by ROMAN BREVIARY

First Line: LIGHT OF THE ANXIOUS HEART
Last Line: BE ENDLESS PRAISE ADDREST. AMEN.

LIGHT of the anxious heart,
Jesus, Thou dost appear,
To bid the gloom of guilt depart,
And shed Thy sweetness here.

Joyous is he, with whom,
God's Word, Thou dost abide;
Sweet Light of our eternal home,
To fleshly sense denied.

Brightness of God above!
Unfathomable grace!
Thy Presence be a fount of love
Within Thy chosen place.

To Thee, whom children see,
The Father ever blest,
The Holy Spirit, One and Three,
Be endless praise addrest. @3Amen.@1
