He has given the hope of the Dawning,
And I watch where His sentinels are;
I shall see in the glow of the Dawning―
And my heart will rejoice in His Star.
He will open the gates of the Morning―
Then will pass the last watches of night;
He will give the home-call of the Morning―
And my soul shall be glad in His light.
He is there in the shadowless Glory―
He has passed through all darkness for me;
He will come in the Daybreak of Glory―
When He comes all the shadows will flee.
Thou wilt shine on my soul in Thy Dawning―
I await all the joy of the Morning.
