Author: John Ellerton (1826-93) Hymnal: The Song Book of the Salvation Army #669 (1986) Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 This is the day of light:
Let there be light today;
O Dayspring, rise upon our night,
And chase its gloom away.
2 This is the day of rest:
Our failing strength renew;
On weary brain and troubled breast
Shed thou thy freshening dew.
3 This is the day of peace:
Thy peace our spirits fill;
Bid thou the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.
4 This is the day of prayer:
Let earth and Heaven draw near;
Lift up our hearts to seek thee there,
Come down to meet us here.
5 This is the first of days:
Send forth thy quickening breath,
And wake dead souls to love and praise,
O Vanquisher of death!
