A Brighter Day

"Lift your heads" with faith; the morrow

Tune: GOOD CHEER
Published in 18 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Lift your heads with faith, the morrow
Downeth brighter than to-day,
Angel hands with lift the shadows,
Chase the gathering gloom away.

Chorus:
Lift your heads, the day is breaking
Soon the morning will appear;
Signs proclaim the Lord is coming;
Lift your heads; the day draws near.

2 Art thou lonely, sad, and weary,
Watching through the silent night?
Dry thy tears, the orient glistens
Like a thread of silver light. [Chorus]

3 What though wars and earth's commotions
Cause men's hearts to fail with fear?
God, your Father, rules the nations,
Christ will for his saints appear. [Chorus]
