Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

This is the day of light! 
This is the day of light: let there be light today; O Dayspring, rise upon our night and chase its gloom away. 
This is the day of rest: our failing strength renew; on weary brain and troubled breast shed thou thy freshening dew. 
This is the day of peace: thy peace our spirits fill; bid thou the blasts of discord cease, the waves of strife be still. 
This is the day of prayer: let earth to heaven draw near; lift up our hearts to seek thee there, come down to meet us here. 
This is the first of days; send forth thy quickening breath, and wake dead souls to love and praise, O Vanquisher of death!
