Now the wished for Morning breaketh;

Hark! how Sion’s daughter waketh

Shouts of joy and jubilee,

Thus His Advent-dawn to see:

King and Bridegroom she enthrones Him,

Though ’tis but a remnant owns Him;

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Patriarchs erst and priests aspiring,

Kings and prophets long desiring,

Saw not this before they died:
