Night draws the curtain, which the sun withdraws;

Music and light attend our head;

All things unto our flesh are kind

In their descent and being; to our mind,

In their ascent and cause.

Since then, my God, thou hast

So brave a palace built, O dwell in it

That it may dwell with thee at last.

Till then, afford us so much wit

That, as the world serves us, we may serve thee,
