O day of rest and gladness
|
O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright, On thee the high and lowly Before the eternal throne Sing Holy, Holy, Holy, To the great Three in One. On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heaven; And thus on thee most glorious A triple light was given. Today on weary nations The heavenly manna falls, To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest., We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest: To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To thee, blest Three in One. |
O dies gratiosa quietem adferens, decora, luminosa, tristitiae medens, cum imis qua praestantes adveniunt thronum Ter Sanctum praedicantes Trinum et Unicum; qua Deus imperavit "Sit lux" et lux fuit, et is qui nos salvavit barathro rediit; victoris ope Christi qua venit Spiritus: sic tu tribus luxisti praeclara lucibus. is manna fatigatis in gentibus pluit, et tuba convocatis argentea canit, lux ubi nuntiorum bonorum radiat et amnium vivorum nos unda recreat. Nunc gratiam novamus hoc nostro sabbato ut propius eamus sanctorum otio. Cum Patre Patre Nati tuique, Spiritus, sit laus, ut Trinitati hic voces tollimus. |
