Ushas (Dawn)

Lyrics

Behold the Dawn, the fairest of all visions Day's glory now appears Arise! For the night hath fled! Arise and greet the Dawn Welcome her! Unveiled she now appeareth All things greet her radiant smile Borne by wingèd horse and car She steals across the sky Child of heav'n arrayed in shining garments Blushing maiden draw thou near: Sovran lady of earth and sky We hail thee as our queen Heav'n's breath awakeneth creation The sky is all aflame Th'eastern Portals open wide The Sun draws nigh Greeting thee, the holy fire ascendeth Greeting thee, our hymns arise Greeting thee, the Sun appeareth Greeting thee, thy worshippers Bow down and bless and adore
