Lo the promised day is breaking

Representative Text

1 Lo! the promised day is breaking,
See its glorious light appear,
Angel notes are softly stealing
On the morning's wakeful ear.
Hark! they float around and near us,
Holy strains of peace and love,
Failing on the list'ning spirit
From the happy world above.
Lo! Lo! Lo! the glorious light appears.

2 Yes! the promised day is breaking,
Darkness, Hatred reign no more,
For Immanuel comes to vanquish
Sin and death, and man restore.
Welcome, welcome gracious Saviour,
Welcome Kingdom of our God,
Dwell with us in pow'r and glory,
Make on earth thy blest abode.
Lo! Lo! Lo! the glorious light appears.

3 O the joy of His appearing,
Life divine His words impart,
And the strength he gives shall enter
Into ev'ry open heart.
Now the Queen of Christian graces
Is by Him enthroned there,
Sov'reign of the best and purest,
Brightest of the good and fair.
Lo! Lo! Lo! the glorious light appears.
