The Evening Light.

D. S. Warner.             (Zech. 14:7.)             H. R. Jeffrey.

1. Bright-er days are sweet-ly dawn-ing, Oh, the glo-ry looms in sight!2. Mist-y fogs, so long con-ceal-ing All the hills of min-gled night,3. Lo! the ran-somed are re-turn-ing, Robed in shin-ing crys-tal white,4. Free from Ba-bel, in the Spir-it, Free to wor-ship God a-right,5. Hal-le-lu-jah! saints are singing, Vic-t'ry in Je-ho-vah's might;For the cloud-y day is wan-ing, And the eve-ning shall be light.Van-ish, all their sin re-veal-ing, For the eve-ning shall be light.Leap-ing shout-ing home to Zi-on, Hap-py in the eve-ning light.Joy and glad-ness we're re-ceiv-ing, Oh, how sweet this eve-ning light!Glo-ry! glo-ry! keep it ring-ing, We are saved in eve-ning light!Chorus.Oh, what gold-en glo-ry streaming! Pur-er light is com-ing fast;Now in Christ we've found a free-dom Which e-ter-nal-ly shall last.[Listen (midi)][Listen (mscz)]
