Representative Text

1 Lo! the day is breaking,
Heathen lands are waking,
Coming to the Saviour from afar;
Songs of rapture singing,
Grateful homage bringing,
Guided by the bright and Morning star.

Refrain:
Glory! glory! hallelujah!
Glory! glory! hallelujah!
Oh, the blessed reaping!
God the seed is keeping,
Scattered by the faithful from his word.

2 Still the trumpet sounding,
Loud and clear resounding,
Bids the nations from their chains be free;
Truth its light is shedding,
Far and wide ‘tis spreading,
Spreading like the waters of the sea. [Refrain]

3 Gold and wheat is growing,
Earnest hearts are glowing,
Looking to the harvest fields above;
Soon they’ll come with singing,
Fruits of labor bringing,
Welcomed by a Saviour’s tender love. [Refrain]
