939--O day of resurrection,

O day of resurrection,

939

	1.	O day of resurrection,
		O day of joy and light,
		O seal of our redemption,
		Most beautiful, most bright:
		On thee the high and lowly,
		Bending before the throne,
		Sing "Holy, holy, holy,"
		To the great Three in One.
	2.	On thee at the creation
		The light first had its birth;
		On thee, for our salvation,
		Christ rose from depths of earth;
		On thee, our Lord, victorious,
		The Spirit sent from heaven;
		And thus on thee, most glorious,
		A triple light was given.
	3.	Today on weary nations
		The heavenly manna falls!
		To holy convocations
		The silver trumpet calls,
		Where gospel light is glowing
		With pure and radiant beams,
		And living water flowing
		With soul-refreshing streams.
	4.	New graces ever gaining
		>From this of days the best,
		We reach the rest remaining
		For people who are blest;
		To Holy Ghost be praises,
		To Father and to Son;
		The Church her voice upraises
		To Thee, blest Three in One.
