- INTRODUCTION
- Now, God of Light, the morn appears,
- Up, up, my soul! with gladness rise,
- The saffron tints appear,
- Now glows the morn in beauty rare,
- When night her sable curtain spreads
- A crown of gold surpassing rare,
- The Lord of Life to earth came down
- euphrantheti Hierousalem
- The best that heaven could bring--
- Out from the rising of the sun,
- O woeful hour! when from the night
- Crown the Lord of glory,
- O Christ, when on the shameful tree,
- O God of love, whose mercy came
- When Hades held the Lord of Life,
- When Thou, O Christ, upon the tree,
- To Thy Cross and Resurrection,
- Light is dawning 'mong the hills,
- Hail rising morn! for He hath risen;
- We worship, Lord, before Thee now,
- Heavy laden with thy grief,
- To Thee, O Christ, our God,
- Glory shone within the gloom,
- When Adam heard the voice of sin
- Within the garden's sombre shade,
- Even as Thou saidst, the Spirit came,
- O may the Spirit of all grace
- Let Thy Blood in mercy poured,
- O Lord of bounty, let this bread
- When in the clouds the Lord appears
- The Bridegroom comes! My soul, awake,
- O Judge of all, when sinful men
- I brought my merits to the throne,
- The time is drawing nigh,
- I sought the Lord at early morn
- O, touch my heart, and bring to mind
- The wealth of high estate,
- I lift my hands, and with my heart,
- Arise, my soul, and gaily sing
- The King shall come when morning dawns,
- Think on me, Lord, for Thou art kind,
- Because Thy mercy is so great,
- I cannot lift mine eyes,
- When at Thy feet, oppressed,
- Because I was brought low,
- O God of life, in whom we live,
- By Thine own hand the gift was given
- Lord, Thou art good and kind,
- O Lord of Life, when mortals call,
- I wandered sore distressed,
- God sent me to the desert wild,
