Let His Glory Be Seen

Oh I saw a distant land, 

and its glory was so grand
I cried oh Lord how I long to be there
Then I heard His gentle voice, 

“come my child, it is your choice”
Oh such hope that I’d never heard before

Chorus:
Oh arise, let us run, 

for the morning light has come
And the darkness of the night flies away
He has risen, He has come, 

and our home He has won
Let His glory be seen on you today

Then the way grew dark with care, 

my heart trembled in despair
I turned my eyes to my Lord with a prayer
Through the dimness of the dawn, 

deeper truth then I was drawn
Oh such hope, even brighter than before!

There a lonely soul I saw, 

standing near but yet withdrawn
I bade him come to the land bright and fair
With hope’s glimmer in his eye, 

to the darkness said goodbye
Then we sang, a note higher than before!
