| 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. O that fervent love today
May in every heart have sway,
Teaching us to praise aright
God, the Source of life and light.
4. Father [Maker], Who didst fashion me
Image of Thyself to be,
Fill me with Thy love divine,
Let my every thought be Thine.
5. Holy Jesus, may I be
Dead and buried here with Thee;
And, by love inflamed, arise
Unto Thee a sacrifice.
6. Thou, Who dost all gifts impart,
Shine, sweet Spirit, in my heart;
Best of gifts Thyself bestow;
Make me burn Thy love to know.
7. God, the blessèd Three in One,
Dwell within my heart alone;
Thou dost give Thyself to me;
May I give myself to Thee.
