The Break of Day

No pain or disappointment
Will shade that happy place
Where all the Father’s children
Will see our Savior’s face

And in that glad forever
Where day is always bright
We’ll ever praise and serve Him
With honor and delight

There freed from sin’s temptation
We’ll love with heart and soul
The God whose love redeemed us
And made us well and whole

Unending joy and purpose
Will fill our happy years
With lasting satisfaction
When earth’s fog-shadow clears

Press on then, Christian pilgrim
The prize is worth the fray
In hope and love be faithful
Until the break of day
