Creator of the starry height (Brockham)

One full verse as introduction.
Just a splendid hymn on a splendid organ.
Enjoy!

1.
Creator of the starry height,
thy people's everlasting light,
Jesu, redeemer of us all,
hear thou thy servants when they call.

2
Thou, sorrowing at the helpless cry
of all creation doomed to die,
didst come to save our fallen race
by healing gifts of heavenly grace.

3
When earth was near its evening hour,
thou didst, in love's redeeming power,
like bridegroom from his chamber, come forth from a Virgin-mother's womb.

4.
At thy great name, exalted now,
all knees in lowly homage bow;
all things in heaven and earth adore,
and own thee King for evermore.

5
To thee, O Holy One, we pray,
our judge in that tremendous day,
ward off, while yet we dwell below,
the weapons of our crafty foe.

6
To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally.

Amen.

Latin, tr. J. M. NEALE* (1818-66)
