Selneccer's 'Christliche Psalmen,' 1587.
P. D.
A BRIGHTER dawn is breaking,
And earth with praise is waking;
For thou, O King most highest,
The power of death defiest;
2 And thou hast come victorious,
With risen Body glorious,
Who now for ever livest,
And life abundant givest.
3 O free the world from blindness,
And fill the world with kindness,
Give sinners resurrection,
Bring striving to perfection;
4 In sickness give us healing,
In doubt thy clear revealing,
That praise to thee be given
In earth as in thy heaven.
