9324. The Golden Time

1 See the golden sunlight,
O’er the mountains beaming,
Bringing to the world the bright prophetic day;
Chasing all the shadows,
All the dreary shadows,
Of the night of death and darkness far away.

Refrain:
Hail we now the golden time,
Hail the days our eyes have longed to see;
Send the sound through every clime,
’Tis the day of jubilee.

2 See the golden promise
Of the prophet’s vision
Coming to its glory in this day and hour;
Coming in its newness,
Coming in its trueness,
Coming in its majesty and with great power. [Refrain]

3 See the golden city
From the clouds descending
While before its coming error flies away;
See the wondrous glory
From its portals streaming,
Now indeed is come the everlasting day. [Refrain]
