127. This day at Thy creating word

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.

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.

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.

4 O day of light, and life, and grace,
From earthly toils sweet resting-place,
Thy hallowed hours, blest gift of love,
Give we again to God above!
