Author: Rev. Samuel F. Smith Hymnal: The Hymnal #389 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Social Progress Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking,
The darkness disappears;
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears;
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war.
2 Blest river of salvation,
Pursue thy onward way;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay:
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, "The Lord is come."
Amen. Tune Title: WEBB
The morning light is breaking
