Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #104 (1930) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking,
The darkness disappears;
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears;
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war.
2 See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above;
While sinners, now confessing,
The Gospel call obey
And seek the Savior's blessing,
A nation in a day.
3 Blest river of salvation,
Pursue thy onward way;
Flow thou to ev'ry nation,
Nor in thy richness stay;
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, The Lord is come!
Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Missions Languages: English Tune Title: WEBB (GOODWIN)
