EN 17 This Day the First of Days Was Made

Gen.1.5

Versi Version 1

1

This day the first of days was made,

When God in light the world arrayed;

Or when His Word arose again,

And, conquering death, gave life to men.

2

Slumber and sloth drive far away;

Earlier arise to greet the day;

And ere its dawn in heaven unfold

The heart’s desire to God be told.

3

Unto our prayer that He attend,

His all creating power extend,

And still renew us, lest we miss

Through earthly stain our heavenly bliss.

4

That us, who here this day repair

To keep the Apostles’ time of prayer,

And hymn the quiet hours of morn,

With blessed gifts He may adorn.

5

For this, Redeemer, Thee we pray

That Thou wilt wash our sins away,

And of Thy lovingkindness grant

Whate’er of good our spirits want.

6

That exiles here awhile in flesh

Some earnest may our souls refresh

Of that pure life for which we long,

Some foretaste of the heavenly song.

7

O Father, that we ask be done,

Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;

Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,

Doth live and reign eternally.
