LyicsYES, we trust the day is breaking,
Joyful times are near at hand;
God, the mighty God, is speaking
By his word, in every land.
Mark his progress:
Darkness flies at his command.
While the foe becomes more daring,
While he "enters like a flood,"
God the Saviour is preparing
Means to spread his truth abroad;
Every language
Soon shall tell the love of God.
God of Jacob, high and glorious,
Let thy people see thy hand;
Let the gospel be victorious
Through the world, in every land;
Let the idols
Perish, Lord, at thy command.
