Father, Who the Light This Day

Father

who the light this day

Out of dark­ness didst cre­ate

Shine up­on us now

we pray

While with­in Thy courts we wait.

Wean us from the works of night

Make us child­ren of the light.

Savior

who this day didst break

The dark pri­son of the tomb

Bid our slum­ber­ing souls awake

Shine through all their sin and gloom.

Let us

from our bonds set free

Rise from sin and live to Thee.

Blessèd Spir­it

Com­fort­er

Sent this day from Christ on high

Lord

on us Thy gifts con­fer

Cleanse

il­lu­mine

sanc­ti­fy.

All Thy full­ness shed abroad;

Lead us to the truth of God.
