O Trinity of blessed Light (alt)

From Oremus Hymnal

O Trinity of blessed light,
O Unity of princely might,
the fiery sun now goes his way;
shed thou within our hearts thy ray.

To thee our morning song of praise,
to thee our evening prayer we raise;
O grant us with thy saints on high
to praise thee through eternity.

To God the Father, heavenly Light,
to Christ revealed in earthly night,
to God the Holy Ghost we raise
our equal and unceasing praise.

The third stanza is different to the usual version in The Hymnal 1982
as indicaed in the original Oremas version
I do not know if this is for # 29 or # 30 or both. I have placed the usual version as # 29.
