[Verse 1]
D G D G G D G
There’s a light upon the mountains, and the day is at the spring,
E7 Am E Am Em D
when our eyes shall see the beauty and the glory of the King;
D G D7 E E7 G E7 Am
weary was our heart with waiting, and the night-watch seemed so long;
B7 Em E Am G D G
but His triumph-day is breaking, and we hail it with a song.
[Verse 2]
D G D G G D G
In the fading of the starlight we may see the coming morn;
E7 Am E Am Em D
and the lights of men are paling in the splendours of the dawn:
D G D7 E E7 G E7 Am
for the eastern skies are glowing as with light of hidden fire,
B7 Em E Am G D G
and the hearts of men are stirring with the throbs of deep desire.
[Verse 3]
D G D G G D G
There’s a hush of expectation, and a quiet in the air;
E7 Am E Am Em D
and the breath of God is moving in the fervent breath of prayer:
D G D7 E E7 G E7 Am
for the suffering, dying Jesus is the Christ upon the throne,
B7 Em E Am G D G
and the travail of our spirit is the travail of His own.
[Verse 4]
D G D G G D G
He is breaking down the barriers, He is casting up the way;
E7 Am E Am Em D
He is calling for His angels to build up the gates of day:
D G D7 E E7 G E7 Am
but His angels here are human, not the shining hosts a - bove;
B7 Em E Am G D G
for the drum-beats of His army are the heart-beats of our love.
[Verse 5]
D G D G G D G
Hark! we hear a distant music, and it comes with fuller swell;
E7 Am E Am Em D
’tis the triumph-song of Jesus, of our King, Emmanuel:
D G D7 E E7 G E7 Am
Zion, go ye forth to meet Him; and, my soul, be swift to bring
B7 Em E Am G D G
all thy sweetness and thy dearest for the triumph of our King!
