-{{Text|English|
+{{LinkText|This is the day of light}}
-. This is the day of light:
-Let there be light today;
-O Dayspring, rise upon our night,
-And chase its gloom away.
-. This is the day of rest:
-Our failing strength renew;
-On weary brain and troubled breast
-Shed thou thy fresh'ning dew.
-. This is the day of peace:
-Thy peace our spirits fill;
-Bid thou the blasts of discord cease,
-The waves of strife be still.
-. This is the day of prayer:
-Let earth to heav'n draw near:
-Lift up our hearts to seek thee there;
-Come down to meet us here.
-. This is the first of days:
-Send forth thy quick'ning breath,
-And wake dead souls to love and praise,
-O Vanquisher of death!}}
-{{Translation|German|
-. Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
-Lass leuchten uns dein Licht.
-Du Quell des Tags, durchdring die Nacht,
-vertreib die Finsternis.
-. Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
-Gib du uns neue Kraft,
-erquicke das beladne Herz
-mit deiner Gnade Tau.
-. Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
-Dein Friede uns erfüll.
-Lass schweigen aller Zwietracht Lärm,
-des Streites Wogen still.
-. Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
-Söhn Erd und Himmel aus.
-Erheb die Herzen hin zu dir,
-neig uns dein Angesicht.
-. Das ist der Tag des Herrn!
-Hauch deinen Geist uns ein,
-weck Tote auf zu deinem Lob,
-du, der den Tod besiegt.}}
