The Morning Stars Sang Together ‎#24

24. The dayspring

1 Truth is dawning! see the morning
Kindled over sea and land!
And the gilded hills are warning
That the dayspring is at hand!
Far adown it flows and brightens;
And the distant mountain lightens,
With the dayspring near at hand,
That the dayspring is at hand.

2 Brothers, onward! lo! our standard,
Soaring in immortal youth!
Trustful ever, fearful never,
Girded with the might of Truth!
Listen to the acclamation,
Nation calling unto nation,
With the dayspring near at hand,
That the dayspring is at hand.
