"Until the day shall break,"
For while the Sun is gone
It must be night. Soon, soon shall pass the night,
Soon break the glorious dawn
Upon our sight.

'Until the day shall break,
And shadows flee away,"
We wait for Thee.
The shadow of Thy cross
Lies heavy o'er the way,
But faith can see

That He who suffered there,
Our substitute to be, Will come again.
Then haste Thy coming, Lord;
We long Thy face to see
And with Thee reign.

'Until the day shall break,"
And we shall see Him crowned
In majesty,
Yea, crowned by God's own hand,
The King whom earth disowned
Despisedly.

Then shall the morning break,
And we with joy arise
Thy face to see.
And then forevermore
The glorious day shall break
For us, and Thee. H. McD
