Music: "Holy Day," H. W. Parker, before 1912
Come, let us all with one accord
Adore and magnify the Lord,
And festive service pay.
On this the day that God hath blest,
The day of peace and heavenly rest,
The Lord's own holy day.
That saw primeval darkness break,
And that more glorious life awake
That latest evermore.
That saw hell's legions prostrate fall,
And Christ, triumphant over all,
His own to heaven restore.
This day the peace that flows from heaven
Was unto the Apostles given,
When doors were closed at night.
This day the Holy Spirit's flame
Upon the Church's teachers came,
And filled their souls with light.
Still on this day with trumpet sound
The Gospel notes were ringing round,
To call the world to pray.
Then on this day let us adore
Our God and supplication pour,
That, when worlds pass away,
Through Christ's dear grace our souls may rest
In peace and joy, forever blest,
Till the great Judgment Day.
