1 Yes, we trust the day is breaking;
Joyful times are near at hand:
God, the mighty God, is speaking
By his word in every land;
When he comes his lost ones seeking,
Darkness flees at his command.
2 Let us hail the joyful season,
Let us hail the rising ray;
When the Lord appears, there's reason
To expect a glorious day;
At the brightness of his coming
Gloom and darkness flee away.
3 While the foe becomes more daring,
While he enters like a flood,
God the Saviour is preparing
Means to spread his light abroad;
Every tongue and every language
Soon shall hear the truth of God.
4 O how pleasant, how reviving
To our hearts, to hear each day
Joyful news from far arriving,
That the message wins its way;
Those enlightening and enlivening
Who in death and darkness lay!
5 God of Israel, high and glorious,
Let thy people see thy hand;
Let the message be victorious
Through the world, in every land:
Come, Lord Jesus, O come quickly,
And thy blessing now command.
