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.

God the
Almighty Lord,
The
Ruler of earth and the heavens,
Guard us
from harm without;
Cleanse
us from evil within.

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.
