Father, who the light this day
Out of dark­ness didst cre­ate,
Shine up­on us now, we pray,
While with­in Thy courts we wait.
Wean us from the works of night,
Make us child­ren of the light.

Savior, who this day didst break
The dark pri­son of the tomb,
Bid our slum­ber­ing souls awake,
Shine through all their sin and gloom.
Let us, from our bonds set free,
Rise from sin and live to Thee.

Blessèd Spi­rit, Com­fort­er,
Sent this day from Christ on high,
Lord, on us Thy gifts con­fer,
Cleanse, il­lu­mine, sanc­ti­fy.
All Thy full­ness shed abroad;
Lead us to the truth of God.
