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.
Rich dews of grace come o’er us
In many a gentle shower,
And brighter scenes before us
Are op’ning ev’ry hour;
Each cry, to heaven going,
Abundant answers brings,
And heav’nly gales are blowing,
With peace upon their wings.
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.
