How Long Till the Morning?

1 Consider the mornings of this mortal land,
Each a new beginning from the Maker's hand.
While the storms may gather 'gainst the evening sky,
The day breaks cloudless in the morning.

Refrain:
How long till we see the morning?
How long till we see Your face?
O my Lord, guide us thru our troubles
Till we rise above them in the morning.

2 Rise up to the battle, for the skies dawn clear;
Let us gather courage while the foe draws near.
Tho' the night falls weary, saints of God march on!
And He'll raise our banner in the morning. [Refrain]

3 When the trumpet sounds to signal Heaven's day,
Resurrection Morning when the dead shall wake,
What a glorious gath'ring when the Lord descends
And we rise to meet Him in the morning. [Refrain]
