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:
When he chooses,
Darkness flies at his command.
While the foe becomes more daring,
While he enters like a flood,
Christ our Saviour is preparing
Means to spread his truth abroad;
Every language
Soon shall tell the love of God.
Oh! 't is pleasant - 't is reviving,
To our hearts to hear each day,
Joyful news from far arriving
How the gospel wins its way;
Those enlightening,
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 every land;
Then shall idols
Perish, Lord, at thy command.
