1 This is the day of light;
Let there be light to-day;
A Dayspring, rise upon our night,
And chase its gloom away.
2 This is the day of rest;
Our failing strength renew;
On weary brain and tro bled breast
Shed Thou Thy freshening dew.
3 This is the day of peace;
Thy peace our spirits fill;
Bid Thou the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.
4 This is the day of prayer;
Let earth and heaven draw near;
Lift up our hearts to seek Thee there,
Come down to meet us here.
5 This is the first of days;
Send forth Thy quickening breath,
And wake dead souls to love and praise,
O Vanquisher of death.
