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.
