The Morning Light Is Breaking

 

"Therefore, My people shall know what My name is and
 what it means; therefore they shall know in that day
I am He who speaks; behold, I AM!"
(Isaiah 52:6)

The morning light is breaking, 

The darkness disappears;

The sons of earth are waking, 

 To penitential tears;

Each breeze that sweeps ocean, 

 Brings tiding from a-far

Of nations in commotion,  

Prepared for Zion's war.

See distant 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 Savior's blessing,

  A nation in a day.

Blest river of salvation, 

 Pursue thy on-ward way;

Flow thou to every 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 has come."
