Light Is Dawning

Light is dawn­ing

pil­grim

O’er thy lone­ly way;

Lift thine eye with glad­ness—

See the ris­ing day.

Then be cheer­ful

pil­grim

Chase away thy gloom

He shall light thy path­way

Even through the tomb.

Jesus comes to cheer thee

All thy jour­ney through;

He will chase thy sor­row

Like the morn­ing dew.

Yes! the night is pass­ing—

Soon it will be gone

For the hills are gild­ed

By the ris­ing sun.

Weep no more

then Christ­ian

Soon the night will end—

Thou hast spent it weep­ing—

Joy shall morn at­tend.

Then in end­less glo­ry

Pilgrim

thou shalt rest

There Thy night of weep­ing

Is for­ev­er past.

There shall end thy jour­ney

Where no night can come

Thou shalt rest for­ev­er

In Thy long-sought home.
