Lyics

Christian! 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!
