Thou, O Lord,
art the Star of truth,
that riseth out of Jacob,
and the man that springeth from Israel.
In the new Star
thou showest thyself as God,
and lying in the Crib
God and Man,
we confess thee
to be the one Christ.
In thy great mercy
grant us the grace of seeing thee,
and show unto us
the radiant sign of thy light,
whereby all the darkness
of our sins may be put to flight:
that so we who now languish
with the desire of seeing thee,
may be refreshed with the enjoyment
of that blissful vision.
Amen.
This prayer was taken from the Mozarabic Breviary.
