The Evening Light

Verse 1

Brighter days are sweetly dawning, O the glory looms in sight! For the cloudy day is waning, And the evening shall be light.

Chorus

O what golden glory streaming! Purer light is coming fast; Now in Christ we’ve found a freedom Which eternally shall last.

Verse 2

Misty fogs, so long concealing All the hills of mingled night, Vanish, all their sin revealing, For the evening shall be light.

Verse 3

Satan, the accusing dragon, Once assumed an angel bright, But he’s driven out of Heaven, By the blessèd evening light.

Verse 4

Lo! the ransomed are returning, Robed in shining crystal white, Leaping, shouting, home to Zion, Happy in the evening light.

Verse 5

Free from Babel, in the Spirit, Free to worship God aright; Joy and gladness we’re receiving, O how sweet this evening light!

Verse 6

Hallelujah! saints are singing, Victory in Jehovah’s might; Glory! glory! keep it ringing, We are saved in evening light!
