- the light frist had its birth;
- this day for our salvation
- Christ rose from depths of earth;
- this day our Lord victorious
- the Spirit sent from heaven,
- and thus this day most glorious
- a triple light was given.

- his Holy Scripture hear;

- renewed with heavenly might,

- on this blest day of light.

- That light our hope sustaining,
- we walk the pilgrim way,
- at lenth our rest attaining,
- our endless Sabbath day.
- We sing to thee our praises,
- O Father, Spirit, Son;
- the Church her voice upraises
- to thee, blest Three in One.
