7271. What a Morning That Will Be

Refrain
What a morning that will be, Hallelujah!
What a morning! What a morning!
When our eyes the King shall see, Hallelujah!
What a morning that will be!

1. When all the clouds of darkness break,
When all the dead from dust awake,
And all the just His likeness take,
Oh, what a morning that will be!

Full Chorus
Then, awake and swell the song, Hallelujah!
Joyful notes of praise prolong, Hallelujah!
When we join the ransomed throng, Hallelujah!
What a day of love and peace that will be. [Refrain]

2. The dreams of earth will soon be o’er,
And death and sorrow come no more,
When we awake on yon fair shore,
Oh, what a morning that will be!
[Full Chorus]
[Refrain]

3. No waking doubts, no dark’ning fears,
No long goodbyes in grief and tears,
But joy supreme thro’ endless years,
Oh, what a morning that will be!
[Full Chorus]
[Refrain]

4. Oh, come away to that bright land,
Before the throne of God we’ll stand,
And sing with all the ransomed band,
Oh, what a morning that will be!
[Full Chorus]
