Day Dawning

orchidee



Tune: Bristol

('Hark, the glad sound')

Matthew 4 v.15-17

***********

Lands of Zebulun, Naphtali

In northern countries lie

Beond River Jordan you be

Near Galilee, we see

 

The people which sat in darkness

They saw great light, no less

To them which sat in the region

And shadow of death one

 

One comes to you, and light is sprung

Up, let praises be sung

This one He Jesus, God's own Son

Day has dawned, has begun

 

Message of salvation, Repent

The Son from heaven sent

Proclaims, for kingdom of heaven

Is near, be ready then

      A stirring spiritual offering of light triumphing over darkness Orchi. Have a happy Friday brimful of light. We have sun today.

            And it feels nearer and nearer. All we have to do is look at the 20th century alone, never mind the 21st century and where we all seem to be headed now. Is it THE end?…no one knows the day or the hour…but be alert, for when Christ comes it will be final and the current world order, thank God, will be no more! Indeed, regardless of WHERE we are in them, we are in those times. See what you inspired in me Orchi? Love this hymn tons! Well done friend! 🙏❤️ This hymn is a great Advent hymn because while it acknowledges baby Jesus, but focuses on King Jesus…often lost in this commercialized (and yes society commercializes Jesus too) season. Bravo friend!
