1 On this day, the first of days,
God the Father's name we praise;
Who, creation’s Lord and Spring,
Did the world from darkness bring.
2 On this day th'eternal Son
Over death his triumph won.
On this day the Spirit came
With his gifts of living flame.
3 Father, Who did fashion me
Image of thyself to be,
Fill us with that love divine,
And conform our wills to thine.
