There's a light that is shining in darkness, While we wait for the dawning of day; And it cheers us along on our journey, Till the shadows shall vanish away !
So we'll wait and watch for the dawning, The day of eternity blest; Then take the wings of the morning, And fly away to our rest.

3. Now we sing 'mid the darkness and shadows, ; And we pray and we watch for the dawn Till the Day-star, in glory arising, Shall betoken the coming of morn. His Second Coming
4. We are not of the night nor of darkness, Let us walk, then, as children of day; Our weeping shall be for a moment, And our joy shall ne'er vanish away !
