On this day of sweet refrains we'd apprehend His love; And what does He require of me, that I would heed His call? On this sweetest day of joy to be seen for who we are. And what does he require of you, dear kindred, every one?
On this day of jubilation, would that we'd all surmise,
That each and every one of us
is precious in His sight.
On this day of joyous songs that worship Him above;
Desiring that we'd all rejoice
in doing what is right.
But be just in cause and sweet in mercy, living humbly, loving all.
That I might learn to love each one,
I'd love each one I might.
Oh to be now reconciled with those both near and far;
That each of us would come to know
that Hope outlasts the night.
And what shall we remember most when last the day is done?
That all of us, across the world
are blessed by His sweet light.
