I Saw the Morning Break

Ye that have faith shall look with fearless eyes
Beyond the tragedy of a world at strife,
And know that out of death and night shall rise
The dawn of ampler life

Rejoice, whatever anguish rend the heart,
That God hath given to you the priceless dower
To live in these great times, and have your part
In Freedom’s crowning hour.
That ye may tell your sons who see the light
High in the heavens, and their high heritage take
I saw the powers of darkness take their flight,
I saw the morning break.

Dear Lord

Thine is the Love which will not let me go:
Thine is the Love which through my soul doth flow
Saved by Thy Love, and healed by Thy Peace
Thy praises shall my thankful heart release

Rev. John Maillard
