Father, Who the Light This Day

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
