Hymns - There's A Light Upon The Mountains

There's a light upon the mountains,and the day is at the spring,When our eyes shall see the beautyand the glory of the King;Weary was our heart with waiting, andthe night-watch seemed so long,But His triumph-day is breaking, andwe hail it with a song. In the fading of the starlight we cansee the coming morn;And the lights of men are paling inthe splendors of the dawn;For the eastern skies are glowing aswith lights of hidden fire,And the hearts of men are stirringwith the throb of deep desire. There's a hush of expectation, anda quiet in the air;And the breath of God is moving inthe fervent breath of prayer;For the suffering, dying Jesus is the Christ upon the throne,And the travail of our spirit is thetravail of His own. He is breaking down the barriers,He is casting up the way;He is calling for His angels to buildup the gates of day;But His angels here are human, notthe shining hosts above,For the drum-beats of His army arethe heart-beats of our love. Hark! we hear a distant music, andit comes with fuller swell;'Tis the triumph song of Jesus, ofour King Emmanuel;Zion, go ye forth to meet Him,and my soul, be swift to bring All thy sweetest and thy dearest forthe triumph of our King.
