Our sorrow will be done,
And paradise be won;
Our darkness will be gone,
Our endless daylight dawn,
Refrain
In the morning,
In the morning!
Our aching hearts will rest,
Serene among the blest,
In the morning!
Our tears and pain will be
Forgot by you and me;
Our doubts and fears will fly,
And truth be clear and nigh,
Refrain
