MORN OF ZION'S GLORY.
FROM THE GERMAN.
Morn of Zion's glory,
Brightly thou art breaking;
Holy joys thy light is waking.
Morn of Zion's glory,
Ancient saints foretold thee,
Seraph-angels, glad, behold thee;
How they glide,
Far and wide,
Streams of full salvation,
Free to every nation.
Brightly thou art breaking;
Holy joys thy light is waking.
Morn of Zion's glory,
Ancient saints foretold thee,
Seraph-angels, glad, behold thee;
How they glide,
Far and wide,
Streams of full salvation,
Free to every nation.
Morn of Zion's glory,
Joyful tidings bringing,
All the wilds with flowers are springing!
Morn of Zion's glory,
All the nations hail thee;
Foes to God in vain assail thee;
Peace with men
Dwells again
What celestial pleasure
Swells, a sacred treasure.
Joyful tidings bringing,
All the wilds with flowers are springing!
Morn of Zion's glory,
All the nations hail thee;
Foes to God in vain assail thee;
Peace with men
Dwells again
What celestial pleasure
Swells, a sacred treasure.

Morn of Zion's glory,
Every human dwelling
With the notes of joy is swelling;
Morn of Zion's glory!
Distant hills are ringing,
Echoed voices sweet are singing;
Haste thee on,
Like the sun,
Paths of splendor tracing,
Heathen midnight chasing.
Every human dwelling
With the notes of joy is swelling;
Morn of Zion's glory!
Distant hills are ringing,
Echoed voices sweet are singing;
Haste thee on,
Like the sun,
Paths of splendor tracing,
Heathen midnight chasing.
Morn of Zion's glory,
Now the night is risen;
Now thy star is high in heaven.
Morn of Zion's glory,
Joyful hearts are bounding,
Hallelujahs high are sounding.
Peace with men
Dwells again;
Jesus reigns forever,
Jesus reigns forever!
Now the night is risen;
Now thy star is high in heaven.
Morn of Zion's glory,
Joyful hearts are bounding,
Hallelujahs high are sounding.
Peace with men
Dwells again;
Jesus reigns forever,
Jesus reigns forever!
