182   GLEAMS OF THE GOLDEN MORNING




[V1]


The golden morning is fast approaching;
Jesus soon will come,
To take his faithful and happy children,
To their promised home.

[C]
O we see the gleams of the golden morning,
Piercing through this night of gloom!
O we see the gleams of the golden morning,
That will burst the tomb.

[V2]
The gospel summons will soon be carried,
To the nations round;
The Bridegroom then will cease to tarry,
And the trumpet sound.

[C]
O we see the gleams of the golden morning,
Piercing through this night of gloom!
O we see the gleams of the golden morning,
That will burst the tomb.

[V3]
Attended by all the shining angels,
Down the flaming sky,
The Judge will come, and will take his people,
Where they will not die.

[C]
O we see the gleams of the golden morning,
Piercing through this night of gloom!
O we see the gleams of the golden morning,
That will burst the tomb.

[V4]
The loved of earth who have long been parted,
Meet in that glad day;
The tears of those who are broken hearted,
Shall be wiped away.

[C]
O we see the gleams of the golden morning,
Piercing through this night of gloom!
O we see the gleams of the golden morning,
That will burst the tomb.
