The morning light is breaking
The darkness disappears
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar
Of nations in commotion
Prepared for Zion's war
See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above
While sinners, now confessing
The gospel call obey
And seek the Saviour's blessing
A nation in a day
| |
Blest river of salvation
Pursue thine onward way
Flow thou to ev'ry nation
Nor in thy richness stay
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, "The Lord is come!"
