The morning draweth nigh,
When girded right with holy might
Shall overthrow the wrong.
When Christ our Lord shall listen
To ev'ry plaintive sigh,
And stretch His hand o'er every land
In justice by and by.
Refrain:
'Tis coming by and by,
'Tis coming by and by,
A better day is coming, the morning draweth nigh,
'Tis coming by and by,
'Tis coming by and by,
The welcome dawn is hastening on,
'Tis coming by and by.
2 The boast of haughty error
No more shall fill the land,
While men enraged, their pow'rs engaged,
To kill their fellow man,
But God the Lord shall triumph,
And Satan's host shall fly,
For wrong must cease and righteousness
Shall conquer by and by. [Refrain]
3 No more will angry nations
In deadly conflict meet,
While children cry and parents die
In conquest or defeat,
For Jesus Christ the Captain,
Will give the battle cry,
The Holy Ghost will lead the host
To vic'try by and by. [Refrain]
4 No more shall lords and rulers
Their helpless victims press,
And bar the door against the poor
And leave them in distress,
But God, the King of Glory,
Who hears the ravens cry,
Will give command that ev'ry man
Have plenty by and by. [Refrain] Used With Tune: A BETTER DAY

Exalt thy towering head and lift thine eyes!
See heaven its sparkling portals wide display,
And break upon thee in a flood of day!

See future sons, and daughters yet unborn,
In crowding ranks on every side arise
Demanding life, impatient for the skies.

Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away;
But fixed His Word, His saving power remains;
Thy realm shall last, thine own Messiah reigns!

Author: George Wallace Briggs Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 53 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Pentecost; Christian Year Trinity Sunday First Line: God has spoken— by his prophets Lyrics: 1 God has spoken— by the prophets,
Spoken his unchanging Word,
Each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one, the righteous Lord.
Mid the world's despair and turmoil,
One firm anchor holding fast;
God is King, his throne eternal,
God the first, and God the last.

Christ, the everlasting Son,
Brightness of the Father's glory,
With the Father ever one;
Spoken by the Word incarnate,
God of God, ere time began,
Light of Light, to earth descending,
Man, revealing God to man.

Speaking to the hearts of men,
In the age-long Word expounding
God's own message, now as then;
Through the rise and fall of nations
One sure faith is standing fast,
God is King, his Word unchanging,
God the first, and God the last.

God, thy God, shall make thee whole;
Why art thou disquieted?
God shall lift thy fallen head.

Lord, to thee my soul draws near,
Let thy countenance benign
Be the saving health of mine. Used With Tune: DURHAM
