The Evening Light

Brighter days are sweetly dawning, O the glory looms in sight! For the cloudy day is waning, And the evening shall be light. Refrain O what golden glory streaming! Purer light is coming fast; Now in Christ we’ve found a freedom Which eternally shall last. Misty fogs, so long concealing All the hills of mingled night, Vanish, all their sin revealing, For the evening shall be light. Refrain Satan, the accusing dragon, Once assumed an angel bright, But he’s driven out of Heaven, By the blessèd evening light. Refrain Lo! the ransomed are returning, Robed in shining crystal white, Leaping, shouting, home to Zion, Happy in the evening light. Refrain Free from Babel, in the Spirit, Free to worship God aright; Joy and gladness we’re receiving, O how sweet this evening light! Refrain Hallelujah! saints are singing, Victory in Jehovah’s might; Glory! glory! keep it ringing, We are saved in evening light! Refrain
