The Coming Dawn

By Geneva Anderson

GENEVA ANDERSON
When breaks the day! O glorious fruition Of all our hopes, and death of all our fears! Eternal life, the end of sin’s condition, The glad good-by to death, to sorrow’s tears. “Knowing as known,”—the veil is drawn away, When the day breaks, and the shadows flee away.
When breaks the day! The sun departs in splendor Behind the rugged mountains, brave and old; The dying radiance of the sun so tender Turns threatening clouds to purple, red, and gold; But now the light is gone, the clouds are ashen gray, “Till the day break, and the shadows flee away.”
O Saviour mine, for whom my soul is longing Far more than watchers for the morning light, Or weary, panting hart for clear springs cooling, Give me thy strength to work, by day or night; Give me thy patience, grace to watch and pray, “Till the day break, and the shadows flee away.”
