Day Is Breaking, Night Is Ended

Author: Casper Johannes Boye Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Day is breaking, night is ended, And the Lord's day hath ascended Over church and countryside; As this day of grace increases, Light from God the heart appeases, Heaven’s portal opens wide, Heaven's portal opens wide. 2 Oh, what joy this day is bringing, When the solemn bells are ringing, Calling men to pray'r and praise; All the angel host rejoices, And with gladsome, mellow voices Praises God for light and grace, Praises God for light and grace. 3 Sin and death, with fear and sorrow, And the burden of the morrow Shall not fill my heart with care; Unto all in tribulation Doth the Lord who wrought salvation, On this day His peace declare, On this day His peace declare. 4 Be it hushed in solemn stillness, Must I weep in grief and illness And confess my sin and shame, It is blessed to be weeping, When the yearning heart is reaping Grace and peace in Jesus’ name. 5 Oh, Thou Fount of grace unbounded, Who the wise men hast confounded, Whom but faith can comprehend, In Thy love my soul reposes, Heaven’s portal never closes, Till before Thy throne I stand.

Author: Kaspar Johannes Boye, 1791-1853; J. C. Aaberg Hymnal: Hymns and Hymnwriters of Denmark #105 (1945) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: Day is breaking, night is ended, And the day of rest ascended Upon church and countryside. Like the day in brightness growing, Grace from God is richer flowing; Heaven’s portals open wide. O what joy this day is bringing, When the chiming bells are ringing, Calling man to prayer and praise! All the angel host rejoices And with gladsome, mellow voices Thanks the Lord for light and grace. Sin and death with fear and sorrow And the burden of tomorrow Shall not weigh my heart with care. Unto all in tribulation Doth the Lord of our salvation On this day His peace declare. Be it hushed in solemn stillness, Must I weep in grief or illness, Or confess my guilt and shame, It is blessed to be weeping When the hungry heart is reaping Grace and peace in Jesus’ name. O Thou Fount of grace unbounded, Who our wisdom hath confounded, 164 Whom but faith can comprehend! In Thy love my soul reposes; Heaven’s portal never closes Till before Thy throne we stand.
