The dayspring from on high hath visited us.—Luke, i. 78.
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.—II. Corinthians, vi. 2.
How many hours bring about the day?
How many days will finish up the year?
Shakspere.
The breath of heaven, blowing pure and sweet,
With dayspring born, here leaves us to respire.
Milton.
Yet are we able only to survey
Dawnings of beams, and promises of day.
