The bright blessed day with joy we see	A
Rise out of the sea at dawning	B
It lightens the sky unceasingly	C
Our gain and delight adorning	B
As children of light we sense that soon	D
Dark night will give way to morning	B
	-
Our Lord chose the blessed midnight hour	E
To come down without our knowing	B
Then clear in the east in dawn s pale bower	E
The sun s hues in strength were growing	B
Then light filled the sky in which the earth	F
Shall shimmer with inner glowing	B
	-
Were each forest tree to come alive	G
And each leaf a voice be granted	H
The law of God s mercy they d contrive	G
In vain in words to have chanted	I
Since Life s Light now shines for ever more	J
In old and young firmly planted	H
	-
Yea though every blade of grass could speak	K
In meadow or field or clearing	B
A thanksgiving hymn they could not seek	K
To sing for our human hearing	B
Befitting the day for light and life	L
While eons their course are steering	B
	-
In vain would the weak man try who chose	M
To conquer the mountain summit	N
The eagle is wily though and knows	M
The wind will not let it plummet	N
And even the small blithe lark can brave	O
The sky and yet overcome it	P
	-
The river so brash with thund rous noise	Q
From crag face comes downwards crashing	B
The streams down below have no such voice	R
Though murmur with gentle plashing	B
So gently they wind through grassy lea	C
Up under the lime trees splashing	B
	-
So thank we our God our father good	S
As larks in their dawn time chorus	T
For each day he gave as so we should	S
For life he from death won for us	T
For all that has nurtured human souls	U
For thousands of years before us	T
	-
As long as we see the golden day	V
And woods are the Danes own bowers	W
We ll deck every pew with sprigs of may	V
And forefathers graves with flowers	W
A wonderful feast of life and joy	X
A Whitsuntide gift that s ours	W
	-
And then from our eyes will start to flow	C
Mild tears like a stream now thriving	B
And streams join and to a river grow	C
That fain for Life s Source is striving	B
It secretly gains like some deep sigh	Y
So early yet late arriving	B
	-
And no day can have so long a growth	Z
That evening cannot be sighted	H
Its light and its setting sun are both	Z
What God in his church has lighted	H
But ever again it dawns anew	A2
For hearts who in morn delighted	H
	-
Let day gently glide this Whitsuntide	H
With haloing rays full flashing	B
The hours pleasing God as past they slide	H
As meadowland stream soft plashing	B
So joyously now the last one winds	B2
Up under the lime trees splashing	B
	-
Like gold is the dawn just moments old	H
When day from its death is rising	B
Yet we too are kissed with lips of gold	H
By sunset so sweet enticing	B
Then every dull gaze will glint afresh	C2
Pale cheeks with new blush surprising	B
	-
We ll journey then to our fatherland	H
Where no day lies still thereafter	E
Where stands a strong castle proud and grand	H
Whose halls all resound with laughter	E
And there we will talk till time is done	D2
In light with our friends hereafter	E
