| Caspar J. BoyeDescription: Day is breaking, night is ended, And the day of rest ascendedm Upon church and countryside. Like the day in brightness growing, Grace from God is richer flowing; Heavens portals open wide. O what joy this day is bringing, When the chiming bells are ringing, Calling man to prayer and praise! All the angel host rejoices And with gladsome, mellow voices Thanks the Lord for light and grace. Sin and death with fear and sorrow And the burden of tomorrow Shall not weigh my heart with care. Unto all in tribulation Doth the Lord of our salvation On this day His peace declare.
