Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840
1. The morning breaks, the shadows flee, Lo! Zion's standard is unfurled! The dawning of a brighter day Majestic rises on the world.
2. The clouds of error disappear Before the rays of truth divine - The glory bursting from afar, Wide o'er the nations soon will shine.
3. The Gentile fullness now comes in, And Israel's blessings are at hand: Lo! Judah's remnant, cleansed from sin, Shall in their promised Canaan stand.
4. Jehovah speaks! let earth give ear, And Gentile nations turn and live - His mighty arm is making bare His cov'nant, people to receive.
5. Angels from heaven and truth from earth Have met, and both have record borne: Thus Zion's light is bursting forth, To bring her ransomed children home.
