The Coming Dawn

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

Aweary of groping in darkness,— In the midnight of hopeless despair,— We herald the glad morrow dawning, And find that our Day-star is there.

We could not behold Thy great glory With vision accustomed to night, So the light on the path of the righteous, Like the dawn, shineth bright and more bright.

There is light for each soul—e’en the heathen; There is dawn when the lost turn to God; And the sun in effulgence and splendor Shineth bright o’er the path Jesus trod.

Thus the road leads from darkness of midnight To God’s glorious noontide above: Need we fear, then, the threatening storm-clouds When the sun shining through them is Love?
