1. (Sop. and Tenor)
Softly beams the sacred dawning
of the great millenial morn,
And to Saints gives welcome warning
that they day is hast’ning on,
That they day is hast’ning on.
2. (Full Choir)
Splendid, rising o’er the mountains,
Glowing with celestial cheer
Streaming from eternal fountains,
Rays of living light appear,
Rays of living light appear.
3. Swiftly flee the clouds of darkness;
Speedily the mists retire
Nature’s universal blackness
is consumed by fire,
is consumed by fire,
by heav’nly fire
4. Yea, the fair sabatic era
when the world will be at rest,
rapidly is drawing nearer;
then all Israel will be blest,
Then all Israel will be blest,
then all Israel will be blest,
will be blest.
