[[Full Lyrics]] [Verse 1] ’Tis almost time for the Lord to come, I hear the people say; The stars of heaven are growing dim, It must be the breaking of the day. [Refrain] O it must be the breaking of the day! O it must be the breaking of the day! The night is almost gone, The day is coming on; O it must be the breaking of the day! [Verse 2] The signs foretold in the sun and moon, In earth and sea and sky, Aloud proclaim to all mankind, The coming of the Master draweth nigh. [Verse 3] It must be time for the waiting church To cast her pride away, With girded loins and burning lamps, To look for the breaking of the day. [Verse 4] Go quickly out in the streets and lanes And in the broad highway, And call the maimed, the halt, and blind, To be ready for the breaking of the day.
