Behold, The Dawn!

Behold, the dawn is breaking,

In splendor is breaking,

When all the earth awaking

At Jesus' Name shall bow;

When He, who once our sorrow bore,

Shall reign supreme from shore to shore,

Triumphant now and evermore

Our coming King of Glory.

Behold, the dawn is spreading,

In beauty is spreading:

The beams of love are shedding

The light of joy divine.

From Zion's tower the watchmen cry,

Rejoice! rejoice! the time is nigh,

When we shall meet our Lord on high,

Our blessèd King of Glory.

O dawn of rapture, telling

Where music is swelling

Within our Savior's dwelling

Above the stars that shine;

Where we shall breathe the fragrant air

Of yonder clime, serene and fair,

And all His faithful ones shall wear

A promised crown of glory.
