Oriens

A merry break from drake and night
Christmas guides us to the light

O Dayspring

Singed, soiled, grimy, and grim
Under the shadow of humanity's sin
Speared by the path of daybreak's delight
No longer under the power of night

God bless,

O Rising Dawn

O Oriens! O Morning Star!

Awaiting the rise of the Morning Star
For to shine light on the dark and bizarre


God bless,

Joshua Fahey

O Rising Dawn!

And as the darkness seems to have won
And time so cold as to be frozen still
A cry calls up for death to be done
For a rising sun to exert his will
For cups of joy to overfill
From deepest trench to the most shallow rill
Light shall fill every canyon


God bless,

Joshua Fahey

O Dayspring

O Oriens, who relieves despair

And gives hope to those near death

Grant us the light to see a sight so fair

That takes away our breath

God bless,

O Rising Dawn give light
To the fearful ones flight
So we may better choose
Our death and sin to lose


God bless,
