The Dayspring From on High

Author: Gaskell Hymnal: A Book of Hymns for Public and Private Devotion (15th ed.) #104 (1866) First Line: Darkness o'er the world was brooding Lyrics: Darkness o’er the world was brooding Sadder than Egyptian gloom; Souls by myriads lay in slumber Deep as of the sealed tomb. Earth had lost the links which bound it To the throne of light above; Yet an eye was watching o’er it, And that eye was full of love. Like a glorious beam of morning, Straight a ray pierced through the cloud, Spirits mightily awakening From their dark and heavy shroud. Still that ray shines on and brightens, Chasing mist and gloom away; Happy they on whom it gathers With its full and perfect day! Languages: English
