Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee
Author: John F. Rusling Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee,
And all the midnight shadows flee;
Tinged are the distant skies with glory,
A beacon light hangs out for thee.
Arise, arise, the light breaks o'er thee,
Thy name is grave on the throne;
Thy home is in that world of glory
Where thy Redeemer reigns alone.
2 Tossed on time's rude, relentless surges,
Calmly composed and dauntless, stand;
For lo, beyond those scenes emerges
The hights that bound the promised land.
Christian, behold, the land is nearing,
Where the wild sea-storm's rage is o'er;
Hark, how the heavenly hosts are cheering!
See in what throngs they range the shore.
3 Cheer up, cheer up, the day breaks o'er thee,
Bright as the summer's noon-tide ray;
The star-gemmed crowns and realms of glory
Invite thy happy soul away.
Away, away, leave all for glory,
Thy name is graven on the throne,
Thy home is in that world of beauty
Where thy Redeemer reigns alone. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: MORNING LIGHT
Christian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee
Day of redemption! when shall we behold
Author: Anon. Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Day of redemption! when shall we behold
Earth overwhelmed with thy splendor untold?
Dark is this desert, and weary our road;
O for the day-spring that cometh from God!
Deep are earth's shadows, its sorrows and gloom;
Oft is its gladness laid low in the tomb:
Joy and rejoicing like shadows depart,
Grief and affliction abide in the heart.
2 Many the sorrows this sad earth has known;
Hopes have been withered, and hearts have been torn;
Tears have been gushing from fountains of grief;
O for that morning which brings us relief!
Ah, we have tasted of blessings to come;
On we have hasted to gain them at home;
There, in the light of eternity's morn,
Glad shall the saints sing the conquerors' song. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: MORNING LIGHT
