Fresh as the dew of the morning,
|
|
| 1. | Fresh as the dew of the morning, |
| | Bringing a sweet rest unheard, |
| | Christ, in the gentle anointing, |
| | Whispers His comforting word: |
| | Stand till the trial is over, |
| | Stand till the tempest is gone, |
| | Stand for the glory of Jesus, |
| | Stand till the kingdom is won. |
| | Lord of all hope, O how |
| | Sweet is Thy voice, |
| | Making my heart in Thy |
| | presence rejoice. |
| 2. | If in the test of my trouble, |
| | Faint be my spirit and heart, |
| | Faint, with the star of hope glimm'ring, |
| | Shall all be taken apart, |
| | May then Thy faith with Thy life-pow'r |
| | Over me hold its full sway |
| | That all Thy riches of glory |
| | Now I may share and for aye. |
| 3. | Lord, as the morning sun dawning, |
| | Chase all my darkness away, |
| | And with Thy kind wings of healing |
| | Turn all my night into day, |
| | Come Thou, O come, Lord of comfort, |
| | Come to my sad, weary heart, |
| | Come, O Thou blest hope of glory, |
| | Never, O never depart. |
