In the glow of early morning,
In the solemn hush of night;
Down from Heaven�s open portals,
Steals a messenger of light,
Whispering sweetly to my spirit,
While the hosts of Heaven sing:
This the wondrous thrilling story:
Christ is coming�Christ my King.
This the wondrous thrilling story�
Christ is coming�Christ my King.Oft methinks I hear His
footsteps,
Stealing down the paths of time;
And the future dark with shadows,
Brightens with this hope sublime.
Sound the soul inspiring anthem;
Angel hosts, your harps attune;
Earth�s long night is almost over,
Christ is coming�coming soon.
Earth�s long night is almost over,
Christ is coming�coming soon.
Long we�ve waited, blest Redeemer,
Waited for the first bright ray
Of the morn when sin and sorrow
At Thy presence flee away;
But our vigil�s nearly over;
Hope of Heav�n, oh, priceless boon!
In the east the glow appearing,
Christ is coming�coming soon.
In the east the glow appearing,
Christ is coming�coming soon. |
