240. The Gloomy Night Will Soon Be Past
C.M.
by S.P. Tregelles
The gloomy night will soon be past,
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)
Thou Bright and Morning Star, Thy light
Thou, Lord, wilt meet our longing sight,
“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)
