Author: Casper Johannes Boye Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #24 (1927) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Day is breaking, night is ended,
And the Lord's day hath ascended
Over church and countryside;
As this day of grace increases,
Light from God the heart appeases,
Heaven’s portal opens wide,
Heaven's portal opens wide.
2 Oh, what joy this day is bringing,
When the solemn bells are ringing,
Calling men to pray'r and praise;
All the angel host rejoices,
And with gladsome, mellow voices
Praises God for light and grace,
Praises God for light and grace.
3 Sin and death, with fear and sorrow,
And the burden of the morrow
Shall not fill my heart with care;
Unto all in tribulation
Doth the Lord who wrought salvation,
On this day His peace declare,
On this day His peace declare.
4 Be it hushed in solemn stillness,
Must I weep in grief and illness
And confess my sin and shame,
It is blessed to be weeping,
When the yearning heart is reaping
Grace and peace in Jesus’ name.
5 Oh, Thou Fount of grace unbounded,
Who the wise men hast confounded,
Whom but faith can comprehend,
In Thy love my soul reposes,
Heaven’s portal never closes,
Till before Thy throne I stand. Topics: Opening Hymns Languages: English Tune Title: [Day is breaking, night is ended]
