LyicsYES, we trust the day is breaking:
Joyful times are near at hand;
God, the mighty God, is speaking,
By his word, in ev'ry land;
When he chooses,
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:
Ev'ry language
Soon shall tell the love of God.
O 'tis pleasant, 'tis reviving
To our hearts, to hear, each day,
Joyful news, from far arriving,
How the gospel wins its way,
Those enlight'ning
Who in death and darkness lay.
God of Jacob, high and glorious,
Let thy people see thy hand;
Let the gospel be victorious,
Through the world, in ev'ry land:
Then shall idols
Perish, Lord, at thy command.
