The Plymouth Sabbath School Collection of Hymns and Tunes‎#41

Text:	The rosy light is breaking
Tune:	WEBB
Composer:	G. J. Webb

1 The rosy light is dawning,
Upon the mountain's brow;
It is the Sabbath morning,
Arise and pay thy vow.
Lift up thy voice to heaven
In sacred praise and prayer,
While unto thee is given
The light of life to share.

2 The landscape, lately shrouded
By evening's paler ray,
Smiles beauteous and unclouded
Before the eye of day.
So let our souls, benighted
Too long in folly's shade,
Lord, by thy kind smiles be lighted
To joys that never fade.

3 O see those waters streaming,
In crystal purity,
While earth, with verdure teeming,
Gives rapture to the eye.
Let rivers of salvation
In larger currents flow,
Till every tribe and nation
Their healing virtues know.
