This is the day of light
Author: J. Ellerton (1826-1893) Appears in 286 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day of light —
let there be light today!
Arise, O Christ, to end our night
and chase its gloom away.
2 This is the day of rest —
our inner strength renew;
on lives by many cares oppressed
send your freshening dew.
3 This is the day of peace —
with peace our spirits fill;
bid all the blasts of discord cease,
the waves of strife be still.
4 This is the day of prayer -
let earth to heaven draw near!
Lift up our hearts to seek you there;
come down to meet us here.
5 This is the first of days:
come with your living breath
and wake dead souls to love and praise,
O Victor over death!

Behold, the Lofty Sky
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Behold, the lofty sky
Declares its Maker God.
And all His starry works on high
Proclaim His power abroad.
2. The darkness and the light
Still keep their course the same;
While night to day, and day to night,
Divinely teach His name.
3. In every different land,
Their general voice is known;
They show the wonders of His Hand,
And orders of His throne.
4. Ye Christian hearts, rejoice,
[originally, Ye British lands, rejoice]
Here He reveals His Word;
We are not left to nature’s voice
To bid us know the Lord.
5. His statutes and commands
Are set before our eyes;
He puts His Gospel in our hands,
Where our salvation lies.
6. His laws are just and pure,
His truth without deceit,
His promises for ever sure
And His rewards are great.
7. Not honey to the taste
Affords so much delight,
Nor gold that has the furnace passed
So much allures the sight.
8. While of Thy works I sing,
Thy glory to proclaim,
Accept the praise, my God, my King
In my Redeemer’s name. Used With Tune: DOMINICA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Praise we the Lord this day
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise we the Lord this day,
this day so long foretold,
whose promise shone with cheering ray
on waiting saints of old.
2 The prophet gave the sign
for faithful hearts to read:
a Virgin, born of David's line,
shall bear the promised Seed.
3 Ask not how this should be,
but worship and adore;
like her, whom heaven's majesty
came down to shadow o'er.
4 Meekly she bowed her head
to hear the gracious word,
Mary, the pure and lowly maid,
the favoured of the Lord.
5 Blèssed shall be her name
in all the church on earth,
through whom that wondrous mercy came,
the Incarnate Saviour's birth. Topics: Blessed Virgin Mary Scripture: Isaiah 7:14 Used With Tune: DOMINICA Text Sources: A Selection of Hymns for public and Private Use, 1847 compiled by T. M.Fallow

O Everlasting Light

Giver of dawn and day,
Dispeller of the ancient night
In which creation lay;
2. O everlasting light,
Shine graciously within;
Brightest of all on earth that’s bright,
Come, shine away my sin.
3. O everlasting truth,
Truest of all that’s true,
Sure guide of erring age and youth,
Lead me, and teach me, too.
4. O everlasting strength,
Uphold me in the way;
Bring me, in spite of foes, at length
To joy and light and day.
5. O everlasting love,
Wellspring of grace and peace,
Pour down Thy fullness from above,
Bid doubt and trouble cease.
6. O everlasting rest,
Lift off life’s load of care;
Relieve, revive this burdened breast,
And every sorrow bear.
7. Thou art in Heav’n our all,
Our all on earth art Thou;
Upon Thy glorious name we call,
Lord Jesus, bless us now. Used With Tune: DOMINICA
