This Is The Day Of Light

This Is The Day Of Light
Let There Be Light Today!
Arise, O Christ, To End Our Night
And Chase Its Gloom Away.

This Is The Day Of Rest
Our Inner Strength Renew;
On Lives By Many Cares Oppressed
Send Your Freshening Dew.

This Is The Day Of Peace
With Peace Our Spirits Fill;
Bid All The Blasts Of Discord Cease,
The Waves Of Strife Be Still.

This Is The Day Of Prayer
Let Earth To Heaven Draw Near!
Lift Up Our Hearts To Seek You There;
Come Down To Meet Us Here.

This Is The First Of Days
Come With Your Living Breath
And Wake Dead Souls To Love And Praise,
O Victor Over Death!
