1 This day at Thy creating Word
First o'er the earth the light was poured;
O Lord, this day upon us shine,
And fill our souls with light divine.

O Lord, this day upon us shine,
And fill our souls with light divine.
2 This day the Lord for sinners slain
In might victorious rose again:
O Jesus, may be raiséd be
From death of sin to life in Thee.

From death of sin to life in Thee.
3 This day the Holy Spirit came
With fiery tongues of cloven flame:
O Spirit, fill our hearts this day
With grace to hear, and grace to pray.
With fiery tongues of cloven flame:
O Spirit, fill our hearts this day
With grace to hear, and grace to pray.
