1st stanza:
On this day, the first of days,
God our Maker's name we praise;
Who, creation’s Lord and spring
Did the world from darkness bring.
Curious what others think: Should this hymn be understood in the strict literal sense (i.e. 1st day referring to Sundays) or as a more general Eastertide hymn (i..e Eastertide celebrated for 50 days)? In other words, do you think it would be appropriate to sing this hymn on a another day of the week (within the Easter season) other than Sunday?
