1 The light of truth is breaking,
On the mountain tops it gleams;
Let it flash along our valleys,
Let it glitter on our streams,
Until all our land awakens
In its flush of golden beams,
Our God, etc.

2 From morning's early watches
Till the setting of the sun
We will never flag nor falter
In the work we have begun,
Till the forts have all surrendered,
And the victory is won.
Our God, etc.

3 We wield no carnal weapons,
And we hurl no fiery dart;
But with words of love and reason
We are sure to win the heart,
And persuade the poor transgressor
To prefer the better part.
Our God, etc.

4 Our strength is in Jehovah,
And our cause is in his care;
With almighty arms to help us
We have faith to do and dare,
While confiding in the promise,
That the Lord will answer prayer
Our God, etc.
