There’s a light upon the mountains, and the day is at the spring, When our eyes shall see the beauty and the glory of the King; Weary was our heart with waiting, and the night-watch seemed so long, But His triumph-day is breaking, and we hail it with a song.

In the fading of the starlight we can see the coming morn; And the lights of men are paling in the splendors of the dawn; For the eastern skies are glowing as with lights of hidden fire, And the hearts of men are stirring with the throb of deep desire.

There’s a hush of expectation, and a quiet in the air; And the breath of God is moving in the fervent breath of prayer; For the suffering, dying Jesus is the Christ upon the throne, And the travail of our spirit is the travail of His own.

He is breaking down the barriers, He is casting up the way; He is calling for His angels to build up the gates of day; But His angels here are human, not the shining hosts above, For the drum-beats of His army are the heart-beats of our love.

Hark! we hear a distant music, and it comes with fuller swell; ’Tis the triumph song of Jesus, of our King Emmanuel; Zion, go ye forth to meet Him, and my soul, be swift to bring All thy sweetest and thy dearest for the triumph of our King.
As a methodist local preacher I was asked by a member of the congregation to preach on this hymn. It was so lovely to re-visit a hymn I hadn't sung for ages and be reminded of the great hope of the Christian faith that God is in control and that Jesus will return and establish His Kingdom of peace and joy forever.
I feel the presence of the Lord with me. My son asked me to sing it for him after hearing me singing it all the time. But I could not find it in my hymnal. So I asked my friend to find it for me. My son is blessed with this hymn.
Is there any hymn more beautiful? I love it... The way it builds up to that fantastic climax - our church voices straining with the thrill and joy of it!
Even though I've been a committed CHRISTian for over 30 years, I haven't heard of Henry Burton before. I love the words of this hymn and I will commit them to memory and possibly use them in the CHRISTian Round Robin to which I belong. Thank you.
