Like the Golden Sun Ascending by Thomas Kingo, 1689 (Tr. George A.T. Rygh, 1908) Ac 2:32 WERDE MUNTER—Johann Schop Like the Golden Sun Ascending (or Som Den Gyldne Sol Frembryder) 1 Like the golden sun ascending, Breaking through the gloom of night, On the earth his glory spending So that darkness takes to flight, Thus my Jesus from the grave And Death’s dismal, dreadful cave Rose triumphant Easter morning At the early purple dawning. 2 Thanks to Thee, O Christ victorious! Thanks to Thee,
