Months in due succession Days of lengthening lights, Hours and passing moments Praise thee in their flight Brightness of the morning Sky and fields, and sea Vanquisher of darkness Bring their praise to Thee.

Lose the hearts long prison'd Bound with Saturn‘s chain All that now is fallen raise to life again Show Thy face in Brightness Bid the nations see; Bring again our daylight; Day returns with thee.
