Mission of St. Clare logo Creator of the Stars of Night

Creator of the stars of night,
Your people’s everlasting light,
O Christ, Redeemer of us all,
We pray you hear us when we call.

In sorrow of that the ancient curse
Should doom to death a universe
You came, O Savior, to set free
Your own in glorious liberty.

When this old world drew on toward night
You came, but not in splendor bright
Not as a monarch, but the child
Of Mary, blameless mother mild.

At your great Name, O Jesus, now
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
All things on earth with one accord,
Like those in heav'n shall call you Lord.

Come in your holy might, we pray,
Redeem us for eternal day
Defend us while we dwell below
From all assaults of our dread foe.

To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honor, might, and glory be
From age to age eternally.

Singer: Rev. Lori Johnson
