The Blessed Day is waiting
For all of Heav’n to fall
Into the wounded heart
of human suffering.
A dawn beyond imagining
Dissolving all our shame
Let’s open to receive its sacred healing

CHORUS

O Luminous! O Wondrous!
The Light of Humankind!
From ancient of sleep Let us awaken!
This Blessed Day, this holy time
When all is born anewT
he Consciousness of Christ
The Second Coming!
Fulfilling all the prophecies
Angelic realms shall sing:
The Age of Miracles arising!

CHORUS

This Blessed Day that too shall pass
When Time shall be no more
And Spirit exhales Creation
For now we meet each other’s gaze
Forgive in harmony
As Love dissolves the Play of Separation.

CHORUS

Lyrics: Trad. J.O. Wallin, O. Hartmann,

This hymn has a number of different melodic versions. Each parish in Dalarna takes pride in having the most beautiful one. Malung has got a pearl already but one morning, as the sun rose over a majestic landscape of forest ridges and calm lakes this one wanted to see the light of day as well. It draws from the Malung tradition but holds its own. Starting the day with this song will give you a good chance of having that blessed day you desire and deserve.
