The gloomy night will soon be past

Verse 1

The gloomy night will soon be past, The morning will appear, The rays of blessed light at last Each eye will cheer.

Verse 2

Thou bright and morning Star, thy light Will to our joy be seen; Thou, Lord, wilt meet our longing sight; No cloud between.

Verse 3

Thy love sustains us on our way While pilgrims here below; Thou dost, O Saviour, day by day, Thy grace bestow.

Verse 4

But oh! the more we learn of thee And thy rich mercy prove, The more we long thy face to see, And know thy love.

Verse 5

Then shine, thou bright and morning Star, Dispel the dreary gloom; Oh, take from sin and grief afar Thy people home.
