SDA Hymnal #205
Transposed to Key of G to match the “old SDA hymnal”
[Verse 1]
G
The golden morning is fast approaching;
D G
Jesus soon will come
G
To take his faithful and happy children
D G
To their promised home.
G C
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
D G
Piercing through this night of gloom!
G C
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
D G
That will burst the tomb.
[Verse 2]
G
The gospel summons will soon be carried
D G
To the nations round;
G
The Bridegroom then will cease to tarry
D G
And the trumpet sound.
G C
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
D G
Piercing through this night of gloom!
G C
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
D G
That will burst the tomb.
[Verse 3]
G
Attended by all the shining angels,
D G
Down the flaming sky
G
The Judge will come, and will take his people
D G
Where they will not die.
G C
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
D G
Piercing through this night of gloom!
G C
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
D G
That will burst the tomb.
[Verse 4]
G
There those loved ones who have long been parted,
D G
Will all meet that day;
G
The tears of those who are broken-hearted
D G
Will be wiped a-way.
G C
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
D G
Piercing through this night of gloom!
G C
O, we see the gleams of the golden morning
D G
That will burst the tomb.
