|
<p>A glorious day is dawning,<br>
|
|
And o’er the waking earth<br>
|
|
The heralds of the morning<br>
|
|
Are springing into birth.<br>
|
|
In dark and hidden places<br>
|
|
There shines the blessèd light;<br>
|
|
The beam of truth displaces<br>
|
|
The darkness of the night.</p>
|
|
<p>The advocates of error<br>
|
|
Foresee the glorious morn,<br>
|
|
And hear in shrinking terror,<br>
|
|
The watchword of reform:<br>
|
|
It rings from hill and valley,<br>
|
|
It breaks oppression’s chain.<br>
|
|
A thousand freemen rally,<br>
|
|
And swell the mighty strain.</p>
|
|
<p>The watchword has been spoken,<br>
|
|
The light has broken forth,<br>
|
|
Far shines the blessèd token<br>
|
|
Upon the startled earth,<br>
|
|
To hearts and homes benighted,<br>
|
|
The blessèd Truth is given,<br>
|
|
And peace and love, united,<br>
|
|
Point upward unto heav’n.</p>
