The Cyber Hymnal ‎#629

629. A Brighter Dawn Is Breaking

1. A brighter dawn is breaking,
And earth with praise is waking;
For Thou, O King, most highest,
The power of death defiest.

2. And Thou hast come victorious,
With risen body glorious,
Who now forever livest,
And life abundant givest.

3. O free the world from blindness,
And fill the world with kindness,
Give sinners resurrection,
Bring striving to perfection.

4. In sickness give us healing,
In doubt Thy clear revealing,
That praise to Thee be given
In earth as in Thy Heaven.
