Gregory the Great (Author), Brianna Woelmer (Illustrator)
Begin each day with this beautiful hymn of praise, often appointed as the office hymn for Matins.

Excerpts
- Father, we praise Thee, now the night is over.
Active and watchful, stand we all before Thee;
Singing we offer prayer and meditation;
Thus we adore Thee.
- Monarch of all things, fit us for Thy mansions;
Banish our weakness, health and wholeness sending;
Bring us to heaven, where Thy saints united
Joy without ending.
- All holy Father, Son, and equal Spirit,
Trinity blessed, send us Thy salvation;
Thine is the glory, gleaming and resounding
Through all creation.
