Brighter days are sweet­ly dawn­ing,
O the glo­ry looms in sight!
For the cloudy day is wan­ing,
And the ev­en­ing shall be light.

Refrain

O what gold­en glo­ry stream­ing!
Purer light is com­ing fast;
Now in Christ we’ve found a free­dom
Which eter­nal­ly shall last.

Misty fogs, so long con­cea­ling
All the hills of min­gled night,
Vanish, all their sin re­veal­ing,
For the ev­en­ing shall be light.

Refrain

Satan, the ac­cus­ing dra­gon,
Once as­sumed an an­gel bright,
But he’s driv­en out of Hea­ven,
By the bless­èd ev­en­ing light.

Refrain

Lo! the ran­somed are re­turn­ing,
Robed in shin­ing crys­tal white,
Leaping, shout­ing, home to Zi­on,
Happy in the ev­en­ing light.

Refrain

Free from Ba­bel, in the Spi­rit,
Free to wor­ship God aright;
Joy and glad­ness we’re re­ceiv­ing,
O how sweet this ev­en­ing light!

Refrain

Hallelujah! saints are sing­ing,
Victory in Je­ho­vah’s might;
Glory! glo­ry! keep it ring­ing,
We are saved in ev­en­ing light!
