Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

Break, day of God, O break 
Break, day of God, O break, sweet light of heavenly skies! I all for thee forsake, and from my dead self rise: O Lamb of God, whose love is light, shine on my soul, and all is bright. 
Break, day of God, O break! The night has lingered long; our hearts with sighing wake, we weep for sin and wrong: O Bright and Morning Star, draw near; O Sun of Righteousness, appear. 
Break, day of God, O break! the earth with strife is worn; the hills with thunder shake, hearts of the people mourn: break, day of God, sweet day of peace, and bid the shout of warriors cease! 
Break, day of God, O break, like to the days above! let purity awake, and faith, and hope, and love: but lo, we see the brightening sky; the golden morn is drawing nigh. 
Henry Burton (1840-1930)
