EN 873 Morn of Morns, and Day of Days

Ps.36.9

Versi Version 1

1

Morn of morns, and day of days!

Beauteous were thy newborn rays:

Brighter yet from death’s dark prison

Christ, the Light of lights, is risen.

2

He commanded, and His Word

Death and the dread chaos heard;

Oh, shall we, more deaf than they,

In the chains of darkness stay?

3

Nature yet in shadow lies;

Let the sons of light arise,

And present the morning rays

With sweet canticles of praise.

4

While the dead world sleeps around,

Let the sacred temples sound

Law, and prophet, and blest psalm

Lit with holy light so calm.

5

Unto hearts in slumber weak

Let the heavenly trumpet speak;

And a newer walk express

Their new life to righteousness.

6

Grant us this, and with us be,

O Thou Fount of charity,

Thou Who dost the Spirit give,

Bidding the dead letter live.

7

Glory to the Father, Son,

And to Thee, O Holy One,

By Whose quickening breath divine

Our dull spirits turn and shine.
