Christian! see! the orient morning

Breaks along the heathen sky;

Lo! the expected day is dawning—

Glorious day-spring from on high;

Hallelujah!—

Hail the day-spring from on high!

2 Heathens at the sight are singing;

Morning wakes the tuneful lays;

Precious offerings they are bringing—

First-fruits of more perfect praise;

Hallelujah!—

Hail the day-spring from on high!

3 Zion’s Sun—salvation beaming—

Gilding now the radiant hills—

Rise and shine, till brighter gleaming,

All the world thy glory fills;

Hallelujah!—

Hail the day-spring from on high!

4 Lord of every tribe and nation!

Spread thy truth from pole to pole;

Spread the light of thy salvation

Till it shine on every soul;

Hallelujah!—

Hail the day-spring from on high!
