[Christian, see the orient morning]
1.
Christian, see the orient morningBreaks along the heathen sky;
Lo! th' expected day is dawning,
Glorious day-spring from on high.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hail the day-spring from on high!
2.
Heathens at the sight are singing,Morning wakes their tuneful lays;
Precious off'rings they are bringing,
First fruits of more perfect days.
Hallelujah! 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! Hallelujah! Hail the day-spring from on high!
4.
Then the valleys and the mountains,Breaking forth, in joy shall sing;
Then the living crystal fountain
From the thirsty ground shall spring.
Hallelujah Hail, &c.
5.
While the wilderness rejoices,Roses shall the desert cheer;
Then the dumb shall tune their voices,
Blind shall see, the deaf shall hear.
Hallelujah Hail, &c.
6.
Lord of every tribe and nation,Spread thy truth from pole to pole;
Spread the light of thy salvation
Till it shines on every soul.
Hallelujah Hail, &c.
