Author: Parley P. Pratt, 1807–1857 Hymnal: Hymns of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints #1 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 First Line: The morning breaks, the shadows flee Lyrics: 1. The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
Lo, Zion’s standard is unfurled!
The dawning of a brighter day,
The dawning of a brighter day
Majestic rises on the world.
2. The clouds of error disappear
Before the rays of truth divine;
The glory bursting from afar,
The glory bursting from afar
Wide o’er the nations soon will shine.
3. The Gentile fulness now comes in,
And Israel’s blessings are at hand.
Lo, Judah’s remnant, cleansed from sin,
Lo, Judah’s remnant, cleansed from sin,
Shall in their promised Canaan stand.
4. Jehovah speaks! Let earth give ear,
And Gentile nations turn and live.
His mighty arm is making bare,
His mighty arm is making bare
His cov’nant people to receive.
5. Angels from heav’n and truth from earth
Have met, and both have record borne;
Thus Zion’s light is bursting forth,
Thus Zion’s light is bursting forth
To bring her ransomed children home. Topics: Gathering of Israel; Restoration; Restoration of the Gospel; Truth; Zion Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: HUDSON
