151 - On This Day, The First of Days

Posted in Song Book

      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 the eternal Son;
          Over death His triumph won;
          On this day the Spirit came;
          With His gifts of living flame.

      3. Father, who didst fashion me;
          God like in His triumph won;
          Fill us with that love divine,
          And comfort our wills to Thine,

      4. Word made flesh, all hail to Thee!
          Thou from sin hast set us free;
          And with Thee we die and rise,
          Unto God in sacrifice;

      5. Holy Spirit, you impart;
          Gifts of love to every heart;
          Give us light and grace we pray;
          Fill our hearts this holy day.

      6. God, the blessed, Three in One,
          May thy holy will be done;
          In Thy world our souls are free.
          And we rest this day with thee.
