All alone.

Till the morn of morns bright dawning,
Earth’s dark shadows passed;
And the splendor of God’s glory
Breaks at last.

Thus the day of days shall open,
Deathless, cloudless, fair;
In that day, the Savior’s glories
We shall share!
Deathless, cloudless, fair;
In that day, the Savior’s glories
We shall share!
