1.
On this day, the first of days,
God the Father’s Name we praise;
Who, creation’s Lord and Spring
Did the world from darkness bring.
2.
On this day the eternal Son
Over death His triumph won;
On this day the Spirit came
With His gifts of living flame.
3.
Father who did fashion man,
Godlike in your loving plan,
Fill us with that love divine,
Save us all, dear Lord benign.
4.
Word-made-flesh all hail to you!
You have set us free from sin,
And with you we die and rise,
Unto God in sacrifice.
5.
Holy spirit you impart,
Gifts of love to every heart;
Give us light and grace we pray;
Make me burn Thy love to know.
6.
God, the blessed Three in One,
May your holy will be done;
In your word our souls are free
And we rest this day with you.
On This Day The First Of Days Lyrics
