The Day Dawns

The day dawns Soon the light
Shall flood the darkened world with radiance bright
On the horizon rests the mighty Sun
His the heavens just begun
Yet standing on the dim edge of the world
His flaming challenge to the night is hurled
And soon along humanity's glad way
Will flash the wondrous spendor of the day
The day dawns!
The day dawns! Soon the night
Must flee before the shining hosts of light;
The hideous creatures born of dark and gloom
Shall shrink with fear and trembling to their tomb;
Hatred and greed and cankering desire
Shall be consumed in day s discerning fire,
And earth s wild cry of misery and pain
Be changed into this one triumphant strain
The day dawns!
The day dawns Oh my SOUL
Stand where the fierce storms of life must roll;
And Oh My breaking heart, feel every
That suffering humanity must know
If [ may catch penetrating ray
Which tells night is DONE this is the day!
And with the watchers raise the joyous cry
awake, my brothers. Look into the sky!-
The day dawns!'
