O Day of Light and Gladness

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Hymnal: Singing the Living Tradition #270 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Easter Lyrics: 1 O day of light and gladness, of prophecy and song, what thoughts within us waken, what hallowed mem'ries throng! The soul’s horizon widens, past, present, future blend; and rises on our vision the life that has no end. 2 Earth feels the season’s joyance; from mountain range to sea the tides of life are flowing fresh, manifold and free. In valley and on upland, by forest pathways dim, all nature lifts in chorus the resurrection hymn. 3 O Dawn of life eternal, to thee our hearts upraise the Easter song of gladness, the Passover of praise. Thine are the many mansions, the dead die not to thee, who fillest from thy fullness time and eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: LANCASHIRE

The unwearied sun from day to day does his Creator's power display, and publishes to every land the work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, the moon takes up the wondrous tale, and nightly to the listening earth repeats the story of its birth; whilst all the stars that round it burn, and all the planets in their turn, confirm the tidings, as they roll and spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though no real voice nor sound amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice; forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine." Scripture: Psalm 19:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: CREATION

You look upon the earth, and at your glance it sways with trembling, and above the hills a smoke ascends where you have touched their rest. 3 They wait for you alone, all living things, to have their food from you, and they are fed. When your hand opens they are satisfied; you give; they gather. When they think you far a trouble comes upon them and a dread. 4 They go again to be the dust they tread. You breathe upon the dust, they rise and are. I will sing praises to you while life fills my flesh with breath; as long as life shall stream from you within me, I will sing your light.

Thy wing with its sheltering touch does us mend, for thou art our maker, redeemer, and friend. Languages: English Tune Title: LYONS
