14761. In The Morning

1 Sweetly I am thinking of a morning bright,
When the gloomy shadows flee before the light,
When the Savior’s glory fills the earth and skies,
Then shall wondrous beauty greet our waking eyes.

Refrain:
In the morning, in the morning,
When He bids His saints arise;
O the glory, O the beauty,
That shall greet our waking eyes.

2 Resurrection morning, glorious and grand,
Happy they who shall be placed at His right hand;
Great will be the gladness, deep the sweet surprise;
Then shall wondrous beauty greet our waking eyes. [Refrain]

3 Brother, are you ready for that blessèd day?
Have you made the risen Lord your guide and stay?
Welcome then, bright morning, when He bids us rise;
Then shall wondrous beauty greet our waking eyes. [Refrain]
