The Church Of The Morning Bright,
Like Crystal So Clear Her Light,
Triumphant, She Knew No Fears;
In Finest White Linen Dressed,
Pure Holiness She Possessed
Two Hundred And Seventy Years.
Hell Never Can Destroy The Church,
Built By The Savior’s Hands;
Upon The Rock, The Solid Rock,
Christ Jesus, Still She Stands;
In Spite Of Persecution’s Flood,
And Gates Of Hell Forsooth;
She’s Still The Kingdom Of The Lord,
The Pillar Of The Truth.
The Sun Went Down Ere His Time,
The Moon Also Ceased To Shine,
Left Zion In Bitter Tears;
No Star Then Appeared In Sight,
Oh, Long Dreary Papal Night!
Twelve Hundred And Sixty Years.
A Rising The Sun Of Day,
Disperses The Night Away
While Popery Quakes With Fears;
Shone Dimly The Gospel Ray,
There Followed A Cloudy Day
Three Hundred And Fifty Years.
We Welcome The Evening Light;
The Gospel So Clear And Bright
Breaks Forth As In Days Of Yore;
The Mists Are All Cleared Away,
All Hail The Supernal Day!
The Sun Shall Go Down No More.
