18. The Dark Shall Be Made Light

1 A brighter day is drawing near,
The dark shall be made light,
When morning drives the shades away,
And makes an end of night.

Refrain:
The dark shall be made light,
The dark shall be made light,
When morning drives the shades away,
And makes an end of night.

2 Press forward then thou anxious soul,
Though oft with weary feet,
For joy and peace shall crown your life,
And all thy rest be sweet. [Refrain]

3 Bright angel forms are hovring near,
To guide us in the right,
And whisper in our listening ear,
“The dark shall be made light!” [Refrain]
