To the Dawn

There's a light upon the mountains and the day is at the spring
When our eyes shall see the beauty and the glory of the King
Weary was our heart with waiting and the night watch seemed so long
But the hearts of men are stirring and we hail it with a song
Oh, the hearts of men are stirring
In the fading of the starlight we can see the coming morn
And the lights of men are paling in the splendors of the dawn
For the eastern skies are glowing as with lights of hidden fire
And the hearts of men are stirring with a longing and desire
Oh, the hearts of men are stirring
To the dawn, to the morning, to the end of the night
All who walk in the dark have seen a Great Light
It's the dawn, it's the morning, it's the end of the night
And the hearts of men are stirring
He is breaking down the barriers, He is casting up the way
He is calling for His people to build up the gates of day
Oh, we hear a distant music and it comes with fuller swell
It's the triumph song of Jesus, Lord Emmanuel
It's the triumph song of Jesus
To the dawn, to the morning, to the end of the night
All who walk in the dark have seen a Great Light
It's the dawn, it's the morning, it's the end of the night
And the hearts of men are stirring
There's a hush of expectation and a quiet in the air
And the breath of God is moving in the fervent breath of prayer
For the suffering, dying Jesus is the Christ upon the throne
And the hearts of men are stirring to know they're not alone
Oh, the hearts of men are stirring
To the dawn, to the morning, to the end of the night
All who walk in the dark have seen a Great Light
It's the dawn, it's the morning, it's the end of the night
And the hearts of men are stirring
To the dawn, to the morning, to the end of the night
All who walk in the dark have seen a Great Light
It's the dawn, it's the morning, it's the end of the night
And the hearts of men are stirring
And the hearts of men are stirring
And the hearts of men are stirring
