Hail Thee, Festival Day

 

Reff

Hail thee, festival day!

Blessed day to be hallowed forever;

Day when our Lord was raised,

Breaking the kingdom of death.

 

VERSE 1

Lo, the fair beauty of the earth,

From the death of the winter arising!

Every good gift of the year

Now with its Master returns.

 

VERSE 2

Rise from the grave now, O Lord,

The author of life and creation.

Treading the pathway of death,

New life You give to us all.

 

VERSE 3

Hail thee, festival day!

Blessed day to be hallowed forever;

Day when our risen Lord

Rose in the heavens to reign.

 

VERSE 4

He who was nailed to the cross

Is Ruler and Lord of all people.

All things created on earth

Sing to the glory of God.

 

VERSE 5

Daily the loveliness grows,

Adorned with glory of blossom;

Heaven her gates unbars,

Flinging her increase of light.

 

VERSE 6

thee, festival day!

Blessed day to be hallowed forever;

Day when the Holy Ghost

Shone in the world full of grace.

 

VERSE 7

Bright and in the likeness of fire,

On those who await your appearing,

You Whom the Lord had foretold

Suddenly, swiftly descend.

 

VERSE 8

Forth from the Father You come

With sevenfold mystical offering,

Pouring on all human souls

Infinite riches of God.

 

VERSE 9

God the Almighty Lord,

The Ruler of earth and the heavens,

Guard us from harm without;

Cleanse us from evil within.

 

VERSE 10

Jesus the health of the world,

Enlighten our minds, great Redeemer,

Son of the Father supreme,

Only begotten of God.

 

VERSE 11

Spirit of life and of power,

Now flow in us, fount of our being,

Light that enlightens us all,

Life that in all may abide.

 

VERSE 12

Praise to the giver of good!

O lover and author of concord,

Pour out your balm on our days;

Order our ways in your peace.
