145. There's Light Around the Cross

1 The morning light is breaking,
Breaking, breaking,
The morning light is breaking,
The darkness disappears.

Refrain:
There’s light around the cross,
There’s light around the cross,
There’s light around the cross,
O look that way!

2 The sons of earth are waking,
Waking, waking,
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears. [Refrain]

3 Each cry to heaven going,
Going, going,
Each cry to heaven going
Abundant answer brings. [Refrain]

4 And heavenly gales are blowing,
Blowing, blowing,
And heavenly gales are blowing
With peace upon their wings. [Refrain]
