There’s a light upon the mountains, and the day is at the spring,
E7E7    A minorAm     E MajorE    A minorAm       E minorEm      D MajorD
when our eyes shall see the beauty and the glory of the King;
D MajorD   G+G    D7D7     E MajorE        E7E7     G+G   E7E7 A minorAm
weary was our heart with waiting, and the night-watch seemed so long;
B7B7   E minorEm   E MajorE   A minorAm        G+G    D MajorD   G+G
but His triumph-day is breaking, and we hail it with a song.

Verse 2:
D MajorD   G+G   D MajorD   G+G        G+G    D MajorD   G+G
In the fading of the starlight we may see the coming morn;
E7E7   A minorAm    E MajorE    A minorAm      E minorEm        D MajorD
and the lights of men are paling in the splendours of the dawn:
D MajorD    G+G    D7D7    E MajorE        E7E7    G+G E7E7 A minorAm
for the eastern skies are glowing as with light of hidden fire,
B7B7   E minorEm    E MajorE    A minorAm        G+G     D MajorD   G+G
and the hearts of men are stirring with the throbs of deep desire.

Verse 3:
D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD  G+G       G+G   D MajorD   G+G
There’s a hush of expectation, and a quiet in the air;
E7E7   A minorAm    E MajorE   A minorAm      E minorEm        D MajorD
and the breath of God is moving in the fervent breath of prayer:
D MajorD    G+G     D7D7  E MajorE      E7E7   G+G  E7E7 A minorAm
for the suffering, dying Jesus is the Christ upon the throne,
B7B7   E minorEm   E MajorE   A minorAm      G+G    D MajorD   G+G
and the travail of our spirit is the travail of His own.

Verse 4:
D MajorD   G+G    D MajorD    G+G        G+G    D MajorD   G+G
He is breaking down the barriers, He is casting up the way;
E7E7  A minorAm   E MajorE    A minorAm       E minorEm       D MajorD
He is calling for His angels to build up the gates of day:
D MajorD    G+G   D7D7    E MajorE       E7E7   G+G   E7E7 A minorAm
but His angels here are human, not the shining hosts a - bove;
B7B7   E minorEm     E MajorE   A minorAm      G+G      D MajorD   G+G
for the drum-beats of His army are the heart-beats of our love.

Verse 5:
D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD    G+G       G+G     D MajorD   G+G
Hark! we hear a distant music, and it comes with fuller swell;
E7E7    A minorAm   E MajorE    A minorAm      E minorEm     D MajorD
’tis the triumph-song of Jesus, of our King, Emmanuel:
D MajorD   G+G   D7D7    E MajorE         E7E7    G+G   E7E7 A minorAm
Zion, go ye forth to meet Him; and, my soul, be swift to bring
B7B7   E minorEm    E MajorE    A minorAm       G+G    D MajorD   G+G
all thy sweetness and thy dearest for the triumph of our King!
