23: O Word of Truth! in devious paths

εψευσαμην σε την αληθειαν, λογε

O Word of Truth! in devious paths My wayward feet have trod; I have not kept the day serene I gave at morn to God.

And now 'tis night, and night within; O God, the light hath fled! I have not kept the vow I made When morn its glories shed.

For clouds of gloom from nether world Obscured my upward way; O Christ the Light, Thy light bestow And turn my night to day!
