Till the Day Dawn
Author: Lucy A. Bennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Dear Savior, thro' the far-spent night Lyrics: 1. Dear Savior, thro’ the far-spent night
We wait and watch for Thee;
The light of earth for us has set
Behind dark Calvary.
2. We yearn to see the rosy dawn
Whose promise beams afar;
And ever, with expectant hearts,
Desire the Morning Star.
3. Oh dawn most fair! Oh day most bright!
Across the eastern sky
The Advent-glory soon shall break—
Redemption draweth nigh.
4. It may be sooner than we think
Shall end the long delay!
It may be that the Bridegroom-King
E’en now is on His way! Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE (Holmes) Text Sources: Hymns of Consecration and Faith, by James Mountain (London: Marshall Brothers, new & enlarged edition, circa 1902), number 419
Till the Day Dawn
Dear is Thy Presence with Thy Friends
Author: Right Rev. Dr. Moule, Bishop of Durham Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Dear is Thy Presence with Thy friends,
To faith’s glad eyes reveal’d;
Their Sun when sorrow’s night descends,
In battle’s hour their shield.
2 But, ah! when heart and spirit faint,
‘Tis life to clasp the word
Which tells of Thee with ev’ry saint
For ever one, dear Lord.
3 Companions may converse and go;
But what shall now divide
Members and Head, above, below,
The Bridegroom and the Bride?
Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE
Dear is Thy Presence with Thy Friends
