LyicsChristians, see the orient morning,
Break along the Heathen sky!
Lo! the expected day is dawning:
Glorious day-spring from on high.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hail, the day-spring from on high.
Heathens at the sight are singing,
Morning wakes the grateful lays;
Precious off'rings they are bringing,
First fruits of more perfect praise.
Alleluia, &c.
Zion's sun, salvation beaming,
Gilding now the radiant hills,
Rise and shine till brightest gleaming,
All the world thy glory fills.
Alleluia, &c.
Zion's sun, salvation beaming,
Gilding now the radiant hills,
Rise, and shine till brightest gleaming,
All the world thy glory fills.
Alleluia, &c.
Then the valleys and the mountains
Breaking forth with joy shall sing,
Then the living crystal fountains,
From the thirsty ground shall spring.
Alleluia, &c.
While the wilderness rejoices,
Roses shall the desert cheer;
Then the dumb shall tune their voices,
Th' blind shall see, the deaf shall hear.
Alleluia, &c.
Lord of every tribe and nation,
Spread thy truth from pole to pole,
Spread the light of thy salvation,
Till it shines on every soul.
Alleluia, &c.
