| 1 The dawning day at length appears, The day foretold by ancient seers; And over nature’s gloomy night Prevails the morning’s rising light. 2 The nations watch the promised ray, Whose blushes kindle into day, And see, with eager, anxious eye, Its saffron tint spread over the sky. 3 He comes! He comes! the Sun appears, Eclipsing reason’s darkened spheres! He shines above the eastern hills, And every heart with transport fills! 4 While India’s sons, adorned with gold, The source of light and life behold; Released from superstition’s chains, No bloody rite their altars stains. 5 The sun upon the Persian’s head, His scorching rays no more shall shed; Burning amid unclouded skies, He sees a fairer orb arise. 6 Behold the nations wait Thy light, To scatter their remaining night; To every clime extend Thy ray, O source of everlasting day! | The Cyber Hymnal #8176 |
