637. Day Is Dawning In The East

1 Day is dawning in the east;
Souls are gath'ring for the feast;
Wait and worship while the day
Sends her glorious light away
Thro' all the earth.

Refrain:
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts!
Heav'n and earth are full of Thee,
Heav'n and earth are praising Thee,
O Lord Most High! A-men.

2 While before Thy throne we fall,
And upon Thy name we call,
Thro' the glory and the grace
Of the skies that veil Thy face,
Our hearts ascend. [Refrain]

3 When forever from our sight
Pass the stars, the day, the night,
Lord of angels, on our eyes
Let eternal morning rise,
And shadows end. [Refrain]
