The Dawn is Sprinkling in the East

Hymn: Aurora Iam Spargit Polum

The dawn is sprinkling in the east

Its golden shower, as day flows in;

Fast mount the pointed shafts of light:

Farewell to darkness and to sin!

Away, ye midnight phantoms all!

Away, despondence and despair!

Whatever guilt the night has brought

Now let it vanish into air.

So, Lord, when that last morning breaks,

Looking to which we sigh and pray,

O may it to Thy minstrels prove

The dawning of a better day.

To God the Father glory be,

And to His sole begotten Son;

Glory, O Holy Ghost, to Thee

While everlasting ages run.

PILGRIMS' HYMN

Even before we call on Your name

To ask You, O God,
When we seek for the words to glorify You,
You hear our prayer;

  Unceasing love, O unceasing love,
Surpassing all we know.

Glory to the father,
and to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.

 

Even with darkness sealing us in,
We breathe Your name,
And through all the days that follow so fast,
We trust in You;
Endless Your grace, O endless Your grace,
Beyond all mortal dream.

 

Both now and forever,
And unto ages and ages,
Amen
