GOLDEN DAWNING
Words: F. E. B.Music: F. E. Belden
1"Waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Cor. 1:7.
Waiting for the dawning of the day that brings us home; Waiting for the breaking;
Of the still-born brightly breaking, Sun of Right-eous-ness to rise, To ye shall from slumber;
Far be-yond the vale of weeping, For ex-pect-ing face to face, When Jesus comes again.
RefrainGolden dawning, are ye more cheery, Other poets reply,
Ba-ton on;
Golden dawning, (dawning,) O day of joy, O day of
Ba-ton on;
Golden dawning, (dawning,) that the night, of our row cease;
Golden dawning, (dawning,) when our row cease;
Hal-le-lu-jah!
2Waiting for the time when we shall meet him in the air;
Waiting for the golden dawning,
Wait-ing! As God's glo-ry gilds the skies,
O the joy-ful-dawn-ing that, let prayer!
