Earth’s Brighter Day

A brighter day is dawning soon,
When morning rays shall end the night,
And brightness like the sun at noon
Shall fill the earth with radiant light.

For in that day shall heaven’s power
Restore redeemed ones from the grave,
’Twill be the bright Millennial hour
When Christ shall free from death its slave.

The Sun of Righteousness shall rise
With healing strength within its rays,
For then His glory fills the skies
With anthems of eternal praise.

And every one shall then be taught
Of their Creator’s righteous laws
And men will find the one they’ve sought
And hail him with their glad applause.

With courage wait, ’twill not be long,
It’s signs are all around us now,
So join the choir and sing the song,
When every knee will ’fore him bow.

How great that time when earth made new,
Becomes man’s resurrection home,
And heavenly truth like morning dew
Shall teach all men no more to roam.
