Lux Aeterna 2006 Epilouge~ Hymn

The Towers at Dawn World Trade Center 2003



All praise to You, O God, this night
For all the blessings of Eternal Light;
Keep us, we pray, O King of kings,
Beneath Your own almighty wings.

Forgive us, Lord, through Christ your Son,
Whatever wrong this day we've done;
Your peace give to the world, O Lord,
That we might live in one accord.

Enlighten us, O blessed Light,
and give us rest throughout this night.
O strengthen us, that for Your sake,
We all may serve You when we wake.

(By Thomas Ken, 1673-1711.)
