Methodist-Hymns-256
1: THERE’S a light upon the mountains,and the day is at the spring,
When our eyes shall see the beauty
and the glory of the King:
Weary was our heart with waiting, and the night -watch seemed so long;
But His triumph day is breaking and we hail it with a song.
2: In the fading of the starlight we may see the coming morn;
And the lights of men are paling in the splendors of the dawn:
For the eastern skies are glowing as with light of hidden fire,
And the hearts of men are stirring with the throbs of deep desire.
3: There’s a hush of expectation, and a quiet in the air;
And the breath of God is moving in the fervent breath of prayer:
For the suffering, dying Jesus is the Christ upon the throne,
And the travail of our spirit is the travail of His own.
4: He is breaking down the barriers,
He is casting up the way;
He is calling for His angels to build up the gates of day:
But His angels here are human, not the shining hosts above;
For the drum -beats of His army are the heart-beats of our love.
5: Hark! we hear a distant music and it comes with fuller swell;
’Tis the triumph- song of Jesus, of our King, Immanuel:
Zion, go ye forth with joy to meet Him;
and, my soul, be swift to bring
All thy sweetest and thy dearest for the triumph of our King!
