O Raise Your Eyes on High and See

His Glory is This Day Revealed

O Raise Your Eyes on High and See is written by Benedictine monk and poet, the Rev. Ralph Wright O.S.B. (b.1938). He received his early education at the Benedictine College of Ampleforth in Yorkshire, UK before entering into the religious life. For over 30 years Fr. Wright has been at the Saint Louis Abbey in St. Louis, Missouri where he acts as the Abbey's vocational director. O Raise Your Eyes on High and See is set to the tune of This Endris Nyght, a 15th century English carol. In the Liturgy of the Hours it is used on August 6th, the Feast of the Transfiguration and on the Feast of the Assumption.
