1. Thou dawn of light that vision bringeth all The guide of sages great with pow'r endow'd That ages through illumine Lord and thrall We e'er thee great and pledge ourselves avow'd Non Nobis, Domine!

2. Thou source of life eternal on thy throne Who lone doth strike the chord of noblest good In all to selfless service make their loan From thy exemplar read to earth on rood Non Nobis, Domine!
