The Promised Day Is Dawning

Verse 1

The promised day is dawning, With slow and steady light; God’s holy word is spreading O’er climes of darkest night; Yet, from those distant regions, We hear the plaintive cry For Bible truths, so teach them From sin and death to fly.

Verse 2

Our mission fields progressing, With grateful hearts we view; Great things have been accomplished, But much remains to do; We need more Christian workers, The cross of Christ to bear; And who, we ask, are willing The toil with us to share?

Verse 3

Remember, O remember The Saviour’s last command, Go forth and preach the gospel, Go forth to every land; Believe and trust the promise, And on its truth depend; Lo, I am with you alway, Yes, with you to the end.
