Christ My Song - 1035

Poor fainting spirit, still hold on thy way - The Day is at Hand!
(Charlotte Elliott/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

The Day is at Hand!

1. Poor fainting spirit, still hold on thy way,
      the dawn is near!
True, thou art weary; but yon brightening ray
      becomes more clear.
  Bear up a little longer – wait for rest –
  yield not to slumber, though with toil oppressed. PDF - Midi

2. The night of life is mournful – but look on –
      the dawn is near!
Soon will earth's shadowy scenes and forms be gone,
      yield not to fear!
  The mountain's summit will, ere long, be gained
  and a bright world of joy and peace attained.

3. "Joyful through hope" thy motto still must be;
      the dawn is near!
What glories will that dawn unfold to thee!
      Be of good cheer!
  Gird up thy loins; bind sandals on thy feet;
  the way is dark and long, the end is sweet.
