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

The dawn is sprinkling in the east 
The dawn is sprinkling in the east its golden shower, as day flows in; fast mount the pointed shafts of light: farewell to darkness and to sin! 
Away, ye midnight phantoms all! Away, despondence and despair! Whatever guilt the night has brought now let it vanish into air. 
So, Lord, when that last morning breaks, looking to which we sigh and pray, O may it to thy minstrels prove the dawning of a better day. 
To God the Father glory be, and to his sole begotten Son; glory, O Holy Ghost, to thee while everlasting ages run.
