Hymn Context Compare
And the dark­ness rolled away,
start
Lies the bright land of a ver­dure sub­lime;
For the glo­ry of the Lord was pass­ing by.
That trails God’s way on high,
start
In plant, and flow­er, and tree;
And eve­ry na­tion kneels to hail
Ye na­tions, catch the kind­ling ray,
From age to age more glo­ri­ous
Clearly in the east it shone,
Thine is the bat­tle, Thine shall be the praise;
By faith I can its beau­ties see,
I find my life as God’s own child;
May hope il­lume the sky.
That we can offer this ev­en­ing song.
Hark! how it rings o’er and o’er!
O glad­some light, O grace of our cre­at­or’s face,
The word of Je­ho­vah He comes to ful­fill,
Thy com­ing in the sky,

splen­dor

Of the glo­ri­ous crown­ing day.
We hail thy beau­te­ous light;
Beautiful, beau­ti­ful, beau­ti­ful home.
Not in silk­en soft­ness shod,
Illumes the ev­en­ing sky,
Herald of the glo­ri­ous morn,
We rise and wor­ship Thee.
Imprisoned for His love of me
end
Man’s life, be­gun so low­ly,
And shep­herds on their faces fell
Victors, we rest with Thee, through end­less days.
And oft I’m long­ing there to be,
I lose the earth-clouds drear and wild.
The mor­row’s light shall break;
Wondrous Thy love that can cast away fear;
Throng from the bright op­en door.
Our Sav­ior Je­sus Christ, joy­ful in Your ap­pear­ing!
Bring down the proud mount­ain, though tow­er­ing to Heav­en,
With an­gels from on high;
