Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
D         G      D       G                  G      D      G
There’s a light upon the mountains, and the day is at the spring,
E7       Am         E       Am             Em           D
when our eyes shall see the beauty and the glory of the King;
D     G       D7         E                E7          G      E7 Am
weary was our heart with waiting, and the night-watch seemed so long;
B7      Em      E      Am               G       D      G
but His triumph-day is breaking, and we hail it with a song.

Verse 2:
D      G      D      G                G       D      G
In the fading of the starlight we may see the coming morn;
E7      Am        E       Am            Em                D
and the lights of men are paling in the splendours of the dawn:
D       G       D7        E               E7       G  E7  Am
for the eastern skies are glowing as with light of hidden fire,
B7      Em        E       Am                G         D      G
and the hearts of men are stirring with the throbs of deep desire.

Verse 3:
D         G       D    G             G     D      G
There’s a hush of expectation, and a quiet in the air;
E7      Am        E      Am            Em                D
and the breath of God is moving in the fervent breath of prayer:
D       G          D7    E            E7      G   E7  Am
for the suffering, dying Jesus is the Christ upon the throne,
B7      Em      E      Am            G       D      G
and the travail of our spirit is the travail of His own.

Verse 4:
D     G        D        G               G       D      G
He is breaking down the barriers, He is casting up the way;
E7    Am      E       Am              Em              D
He is calling for His angels to build up the gates of day:
D       G      D7       E              E7      G     E7  Am
but His angels here are human, not the shining hosts a - bove;
B7      Em         E      Am           G           D      G
for the drum-beats of His army are the heart-beats of our love.

Verse 5:
D        G      D       G             G          D      G
Hark! we hear a distant music, and it comes with fuller swell;
E7       Am      E       Am            Em          D
’tis the triumph-song of Jesus, of our King, Emmanuel:
D     G     D7       E                 E7       G     E7 Am
Zion, go ye forth to meet Him; and, my soul, be swift to bring
B7      Em        E       Am              G       D      G
all thy sweetness and thy dearest for the triumph of our King!
