Break, break, eternal day
1
Break, break, eternal day,Bid darkness flee away;Pour on our sight,Light from the world of joy,Bliss pure without alloy;Then ne'er shall gloom annoy;All shall be bright.
2
Rise, rise, thou glorious sun,Hasten thy race to run;At God's command,Extend thy healing wings;Open joy's long-sealed springs;Reign, O thou King of kings,In this dark land!
3
Come, come, thou conquering One,Reign thou upon thy throne,In glory bright;Then shall the ransomed raise,Unceasing songs of praise,Throughout eternal days,In realms of light.
