The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#1336

1336. The golden morning is fast approaching

1 The golden morning is fast approaching;
Jesus soon will come
To take his faithful and happy children
To their promised home.

Chorus:
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
Piercing thro' this night of gloom!
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
That will burst the tomb.

2 The gospel summons will soon be carried
To the nations round;
The Bridegroom then will cease to tarry
And the trumpet sound. [Chorus]

3 Attended by all the shining angels,
Down the flaming sky
The Judge will come, and will take his people
Where they will not die. [Chorus]

4 There those lov'd ones who have long been parted,
Will all meet that day;
The tears of those who are brokenhearted
Will be wiped away. [Chorus]
