The day-spring.
Luke 1:78.
Christian! see! the orient morning
Breaks along the heathen sky;
Lo! the expected day is dawning—
Glorious day-spring from on high;
Hallelujah!—
Hail the day-spring from on high!
2 Heathens at the sight are singing;
Morning wakes the tuneful lays;
Precious offerings they are bringing—
First-fruits of more perfect praise;
Hallelujah!—
Hail the day-spring from on high!
3 Zion’s Sun—salvation beaming—
Gilding now the radiant hills—
Rise and shine, till brighter gleaming,
All the world thy glory fills;
Hallelujah!—
Hail the day-spring from on high!
4 Lord of every tribe and nation!
Spread thy truth from pole to pole;
Spread the light of thy salvation
Till it shine on every soul;
Hallelujah!—
Hail the day-spring from on high!
