Joy Is Coming In the Morning

Author: Jennie Wilson Hymnal: Sunday-School Praises #134 (1900) First Line: Tho' the soul grows faint and weary Refrain First Line: Joy is coming when the morning Lyrics: 1 Tho' the soul grow faint and weary ‘Mid the sadness of the night, Soon upon the darkness dreary There will glow a blessed light; And the gladness of that dawning Will all tears of grief repay, Joy is coming in the morning, When the shadows flee away. Refrain: Joy is coming when the morning Shall in splendor ‘round thee shine; Joy is coming in the morning, Soul, have faith, no more repine. 2 Thro' the hours of bitter weeping, When thou seemest all alone, God a tender watch is keeping, Every sigh to him is known; After all the anxious waking, After all the fitful dreams, Joy is coming with the breaking Of the morning’s golden beams. [Refrain] 3 Thro the time of pain and sorrow Trust the love and care divine, Wait the radiant tomorrow, Soon its blessing shall be thine; God’s unceasing guard is o’er thee, And the gloom will soon be gone, Joy is coming with the glory Of a holy, cloudless dawn. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Tho' the soul grows faint and weary]

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878.
