Far up the lance of dawn is cast;
New light upon the heaven is spread.
2. But when this sparkle of the day
Our eyes discern, then, Lord of light,
To Thee our souls make haste to pray
And offer all their wants aright.
3. O Holy Spirit, by the deeds
Of Thine own light and charity,
Renew us through our earthly needs
And cause us to be like to Thee.
