The heaven, O Lord,
is bright with the clear shining of the stars,
and the earth is serene with radiant light,
since You have shone upon the world
from Your holy habitation.
Chase then, we ask You,
all darkness from our minds.
Kindle our hearts
with the splendour of Your grace.
Enlighten our eyes
with the radiance of Your brightness,
that we may attain to see You for ever.
--Mozarabic prayer from Evelyn Underhill's Prayer Book
