Yes, we trust the day is breaking

Yes, we trust the day is breaking;Joyful times are near at hand:God, the mighty God, is speakingBy his word in every land;When he comes his lost ones seeking,Darkness flees at his command.

Let us hail the joyful season,Let us hail the rising ray;When the Lord appears, there 's reasonTo expect a glorious day;At the brightness of his comingGloom and darkness flee away.

While the foe becomes more daring,While he enters like a flood,God the Saviour is preparingMeans to spread his light abroad;Every tongue and every languageSoon shall hear the truth of God.

O how pleasant, how revivingTo our hearts, to hear each dayJoyful news from far arriving,That the message wins its way;Those enlightening and enliveningWho in death and darkness lay!

God of Israel, high and glorious,Let thy people see thy hand;Let the message be victoriousThrough the world, in every land:Come, Lord Jesus, O come quickly,And thy blessing now command.
