LyicsChristian, see! The orient morning
Breaks along the heathen sky;
Lo! the expected day is dawning-
Glorious day-spring from on high;
Hallelujah!
Hail the day-spring from on high!
Heathens at the sight are singing;
Morning wakes the tuneful lays;
Precious offerings they are bringing-
First-fruits of more perfect praise;
Hallelujah!
Hail the day-spring from on high!
Zion's Sun! salvation beaming,
Gilding now the radiant hills,
Rise and shine till, brighter gleaming,
All the world, thy glory fills;
Hallelujah!
Hail the day-spring from on high!
Lord of every tribe and nation!
Spread thy truth from pole to pole;
Spread the light of thy salvation
Till it shine on every soul;
Hallelujah!
Hail the day-spring from on high!
