240. The Gloomy Night Will Soon Be Past

C.M.
by S.P. Tregelles
1
The gloomy night will soon be past,
 
The morning will appear;
 
The harbinger of day at last
 
Each waiting eye will cheer.
“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.” (Romans 13:12)
“And I will give him the morning star.” (Revelation 2:28)
“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.” (Hebrews 9:28)
2
Thou Bright and Morning Star, Thy light
 
Will to our joy be seen;
 
Thou, Lord, wilt meet our longing sight,
 
Without a cloud between.
“I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” (Revelation 22:16)
“And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.” (2 Samuel 23:4)
