Till the Day Shall Dawn

Author: Grace W. Burleigh Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: We must wait in this shadowy land Lyrics: 1. We must wait in this shadowy land Till the day shall dawn; We must march with the brave pilgrim band, Till the day shall dawn; Till the day shall dawn, Till the day shall dawn, Till morning light shall scatter night, And the day-star arise in our hearts. 2. We must live full of kindness and love, Till the day shall dawn; We must trust in our Father above, Till the day shall dawn; Till the day shall dawn, Till the day shall dawn, Till far and near the morn appear, And the day-star arise in our hearts. 3. We must comfort the hearts that are sad, Till the day shall dawn; We must help them to trust and be glad, Till the day shall dawn; Till the day shall dawn, Till the day shall dawn, Till sorrow’s night shall fade in light, And the day-star arise in our hearts. 4. We must watch for our Jesus to come, Till the day shall dawn; We must wait for the sweet rest of home, Till the day shall dawn; Till the day shall dawn, Till the day shall dawn, Till God’s dear Son shall say, Well done, And the day-star arise in our hearts.
