THE SONG OF MORN
The mystery that early dawn
Of finding God in human form
Suspended thought, and filled each breast
With holy joy and thankfulness.
The songs of morn were whispered cry
‘Our GOD – He hasn’t passed us by.’
The child to manhood grew apace
With loving deeds He served our race.
Affliction paled before His might
A trail of joy flowed from His light.
The songs of morn abounded then
With praise and honour to our King.
Then dark clouds pressed around His form
He tread the winepress, gaunt, alone.
The universe looked on in awe
The cup He must drain on His own.
The songs of morn were saddened cry
‘Must this Man of sorrows die?’
Thousands of years of hate heaped on
This Man of love to weigh Him down.
Christ knew the anguish of the one
When mercies reign’s forever done.
The songs of morn were anguished cry
‘The evil one has had his way.’
The Saviour’s touch, the sweetest given,
Was it to be forever hidden?
The anguish of the parting then
Touched the soul of every man.
No songs of morn that sabbath day
As men fell on their knees to pray.
A pulse of joy springs into life
And surges through the aching strife.
The nightmare of those grief-filled hours
Dissolves before His mighty power.
The songs of morn from more than men
Cry, ‘JESUS lives, He lives again!’
The First-fruits of the harvest raised
Ignites the hope and rends the praise
From pilgrims here on earth below.
They’ve One in heaven whom all can know.
The songs of morn swell to the night
The Lord of all has made things right.
In Him we find our righteousness
His intercession has not ceased
Our hope beyond all reckoning
Our merciful Creator King.
The songs of morn redemption day
Swell loud from lips of prayer and praise.
A mighty shout of victory
Will rend the sky as we’re set free
Released from more than sin’s dark night
From hell, and death and every plight
These songs of morn will triumph be
‘Hosanna to the Mighty Three!’
The song of morn can always be
A mighty shout of victory.
For every soul can be set free
When trusting One from Calvary.
Glory! Hallelujah! We rest in Thee
Both now and in eternity.
Jesus said, “I am the resurrection, and the life: he that
believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.”
“I am come that they might have life, and that they might
have it more abundantly.” John 11:25; 10:10
HE’S ALIVE!
