First of the week and finest day

Author: David Mowbray (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #376 (1987) Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 First of the week and finest day, when God commanded light to shine: cast darkness and its works away to celebrate with bread and wine! 2 First of the week was Easter morn when Christ the Lord from death was raised; new life, fresh hope that day was born and God in heaven and earth was praised. 3 First of the week the Spirit came to fill the church with grace and power; the rushing wind and tongues of flame were heralds of that promised hour. 4 First of the week we set aside to meet, to learn,to give, to pray; to spread Christ's gospel far and wide - in truth, this is the Lord's own day!
