From his light, to whom we give
Laud and praise undying.

With the day of splendor,
With the royal feast of feasts,
Comes its joy to render;
Comes to gladen faithful hearts
Who with true affection
Welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.

Nor the tomb's dark portal,
Nor the watchers, nor the seal
Hold him as a mortal;
For today among the Twelve
Christ appeared bestowing
Lasting peace which evermore
Passes human knowing.
5 "Alleuia!" now we cry
To our King immortal,
Who, triumphant, burst the bars
Of the tomb's dark portal;
"Alleluia!" with the Son,
God the Father praising;
"Alleluia!" yet again
To the Spirit raising.

Ev'ry dawn sings out his praise.

First of all created things?
One alone is truly wise,
Hidden from our earthbound eyes:
Knowledge lies in him alone--
God, the Lord upon his throne!

Planted her in all he made;
Granted her to humankind,
Sowed her truth in ev'ry mind:
But with richest wisdom blessed
Those who love him first and best.

Brings her children life and health;
Teaches us to fear the Lord,
Marks a universe restored:

Our spirits strengthen with your grace,
And give us joy to see your face.

A breath unseen, unheard;
As though within a heart of stone,
Or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
A pulse of being stirred.
A pulse of being stirred.

And thoughts of day depart;
Half-seen upon the inward eye,
A falling star across the sky
Of night within the heart.
Of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
The ocean's fume and foam;
Yet small and still upon the breeze,
A wind that stirs the tops of trees,
A voice to call us home.
A voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
By flesh and blood and birth;
To bear within our mortal frame
A life, a death, a saving Name
For ev'ry child of earth.
For ev'ry child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
Believed, obeyed, adored:
The Christ in all the scriptures shown,
As yet unseen, but not unknown,
Our Savior and our Lord.

The hour I first believed!

As long as life endures.

I have already come;
’Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
