Now we hail the happy dawning
Of the gospel's glorious light.
May it take the wings of morning.
And dispel the shade^s of night;
|: Blessed Saviour, :|
Let our eyes behold the sight.
Where, amid the desert dreary,
Plant, nor shrub, nor flowret grows,
There refresh the wand'rer weary.
With the sight of Sharon's Rose;
|: And its beauties :|
To the longing eye disclose.
Where the beasts of prey are prowling,
And the murd'rous serpents hiss.
There exchange the dismal howling
For the pleasing calm of peace;
|: And for ever :|
May destruction's empire cease.
Oh, let all the world adore thee—
Universal be thy fame;
Kings and subjects fall before thee,
And extol thy matchless name;
|: All ascribimg :|
Łndles8 praises to the Lamb.
