174 Creator of the starry night,

1 Creator of the starry night, Thy people's everlasting light, Jesus, 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 save our lost and guilty race, By healing gifts of heavenly grace. 3 Love drew Thee down, the world to win From common stain of common sin; Proceeding from a virgin shrine The spotless victim all divine. 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, honor, might, and glory be From age to age eternally.
