“The Morning Cometh”

Lo! from his Eastern heights sublime, I hear the herald’s joyous warning; Day’s glory deepens; far upclimb The rosy splendors of the morning; See yon triumphant steeds of light Chase the retreating hosts of night; The valleys sing, the hills rejoice, And sounds aloft one cheering voice, “’Tis coming: yes, ’tis coming!”
’Tis coming! Yes, our night of tears Shall fade before Immanuel’s glory, Which now to gild our earth appears, Foretold in ancient song and story; Foretold in that seraphic strain, With notes which haunt our world again; For traveling through the shadowy years The Just, the Merciful, appears, Behold! the Lord is coming.
—Zion’s Herald.
