Author: Abbie C. McKeever Hymnal: Songs of Free Grace #84 (1883) First Line: When the long, long night is over Refrain First Line: Oh, the rapture of the morning! Lyrics: 1 When the long, long night is over,
And we waken from our sleep;
When the shadows dark shall hover,
And no watcher vigils keep.
Chorus:
Oh, the rapture of the morning!
When the long, long night is o'er;
Oh, the garlands for adorning,
When we waken evermore!
2 Shall we wake to blessed morning
In the world beyond the skies,
And wear garlands for adorning
In that home where man ne'er dies? [Chorus]
3 Sweet will be the life up yonder,
Rare will be the music heard;
Nevermore from him to wander,
Who has kept his gracious word. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the long, long night is over]
