The Evening Light

Brighter days are sweet­ly dawn­ing

O the glo­ry looms in sight!

For the cloudy day is wan­ing

And the ev­en­ing shall be light.

O what gold­en glo­ry stream­ing!

Purer light is com­ing fast;

Now in Christ we’ve found a free­dom

Which eter­nal­ly shall last.

Misty fogs

so long con­cea­ling

All the hills of min­gled night

Vanish

all their sin re­veal­ing

For the ev­en­ing shall be light.

Satan

the ac­cus­ing dra­gon

Once as­sumed an an­gel bright

But he’s driv­en out of Heav­en

By the bless­èd ev­en­ing light.

Lo! the ran­somed are re­turn­ing

Robed in shin­ing crys­tal white

Leaping

shout­ing

home to Zi­on

Happy in the ev­en­ing light.

Free from Ba­bel

in the Spir­it

Free to wor­ship God aright;

Joy and glad­ness we’re re­ceiv­ing

O how sweet this ev­en­ing light!

Hallelujah! saints are sing­ing

Victory in Je­ho­vah’s might;

Glory! glo­ry! keep it ring­ing

We are saved in ev­en­ing light!
