Yes, We Trust The Day Is Breaking

Yes, we trust the day is breaking;

Joyful times are near at hand:

God, the mighty God, is speaking

By his word in every land;

When he comes his lost ones seeking,

Darkness flees at his command.

Let us hail the joyful season,

Let us hail the rising ray;

When the Lord appears, there's reason

To expect a glorious day;

At the brightness of his coming

Gloom and darkness flee away.

While the foe becomes more daring,

While he enters like a flood,

God the Saviour is preparing

Means to spread his light abroad;

Every tongue and every language

Soon shall hear the truth of God.

O how pleasant, how reviving

To our hearts, to hear each day

Joyful news from far arriving,

That the message wins its way;

Those enlightening and enlivening

Who in death and darkness lay!

God of Israel, high and glorious,

Let thy people see thy hand;

Let the message be victorious

Through the world, in every land:

Come, Lord Jesus, O come quickly,

And thy blessing now command.
