“And He shall be as the light of the morning when the Sun riseth even a morning without clouds.”-1Sam. 23:4.
1 This is the day of light, mf Let there be light today; cr O Day-spring, rise upon our night, And chase its gloom away.
2 This is the day of rest: Our failing strength renew; di On weary brain and troubled breast mp Shed Thou Thy fresh’ning dew.
3 This is the day of peace; mf Thy peace our spirits fill;
Bid Thou the blasts of discord cease, The waves of strife be still.
4 This is the day of pray’r;
Let earth to heav’n draw near, Lift up our hearts to seek Thee there, Come down to meet us here.
5 This is the first of days: mf Send forth Thy quick’ning breath, And wake dead souls to love and praise, O vanquisher of death!
