The Little Minstrel ‎#96

96. Midway

1 O'er the gloomy hills of darkness,
Look, my soul, be still and gaze;
All the promises of travail
With a glorious day of grace;
Blessed jub'lee, Blessed jub'lee,
Let thy glorious morning dawn.

3 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness,
Grant them, Lord, the glorious light;
And from eastern coast to western,
May the morning chase the night!
And redemption,
Freely purchased, win the day.

4 Fly abroad, thou mighty gospel!
Win and conquer! never cease
May thy lasting wide dominion
Multiply and still increase!
Sway thy scepter,
Savior, all the world around!
