| The Morning Breaks
|
| Triumphantly
|
| 1.The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
|
| Lo, Zion’s standard is unfurled!
|
| The dawning of a brighter day,
|
| The dawning of a brighter day
|
| Majestic rises on the world.
|
| 2.The clouds of error disappear
|
| Before the rays of truth divine;
|
| The glory bursting from afar,
|
| The glory bursting from afar
|
| Wide o’er the nations soon will shine.
|
| 3.The Gentile fulness now comes in,
|
| And Israel’s blessings are at hand.
|
| Lo, Judah’s remnant, cleansed from sin,
|
| Lo, Judah’s remnant, cleansed from sin,
|
| Shall in their promised Canaan stand.
|
| 4.Jehovah speaks! |
| Let earth give ear,
|
| And Gentile nations turn and live.
|
| His mighty arm is making bare,
|
| His mighty arm is making bare
|
| His cov’nant people to receive.
|
| 5.—Angels from heav’n and truth from earth
|
| Have met, and both have record borne;
|
| Thus Zion’s light is bursting forth,
|
| Thus Zion’s light is bursting forth
|
| To bring her ransomed children home. |
