LyicsChristian, the morn breaks sweetly o'er thee,
And all the midnight shadows flee;
Tinged are the distant skies with glory,
A beacon light hung out for thee.
Arise! arise! the light breaks o'er thee,
Thy name is graven on the throne;
Thy home is in the world of glory,
Where thy Redeemer reigns alone.
Tossed on time's rude, relentless surges,
Calmly, composed, and dauntless stand;
For lo! beyond those scenes emerges
The heights that bound the promised land.
Behold! behold! the land is nearing,
Where the wild sea-storm's rage is o'er;
Hark! how the heavenly hosts are cheering;
See, in what throngs they range the shore.
