The morning light is breaking

Author: Dr. S. F. Smith, 1808-1895 Appears in 1,181 hymnals Topics: Second Coming of Christ 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 Saviour's blessing, A nation in a day. 3 Blest river of salvation, Pursue thine onward way; Flow thou to every 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!"

My feet shall visit thine abode, My songs address thy throne. 2 Among the saints that fill thine house My offerings shall be paid; There shall my zeal perform the vows, My soul in anguish made. 3 How much is mercy thy delight, Thou ever-blessed God! How dear thy servants in thy sight? How precious is their blood? 4 How happy all thy servants are! How great thy grace to me! My life which thou hast made thy care, Lord, I devote to thee. 5 Now I am thine, forever thine, Nor shall my purpose move; Thy hand hath loos'd my bonds of pain, And bound me with thy love. 6 Here in thy courts I leave my vow, And thy rich grace record; Witness, ye saints, who hear me now, If I forsake the Lord.

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Bishop Reginald Heber Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1,696 hymnals Topics: Second Coming of Christ Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand, From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, Christ calls us to deliver His lands from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle, Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile? In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's Name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign.

Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel. 5 O come, O come, Thou Lord of might, Who to Thy tribes, from Sinai's height, In ancient time didst give the law In cloud, and majesty and awe.

I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling; oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh, teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame -- the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.
