1 Father, who the light this day Out of darkness didst create, Shine upon us now, we pray, While within Thy courts we wait; Wean us from the works of night, Make us children of the light. 2 Savior, who this day didst break From the bondage of the tomb, Bid our slumb'ring souls awake, And dispel their doubt and gloom; Let us, from our bonds set free, Rise from sin and live to Thee. 3 Blessed Spirit, Comforter, Sent this day from Christ on high, Lord, on us Thy gifts confer, Cleanse, illumine, sanctify; All Thine influence shed abroad; Lead us to the truth of God.
