Consider the mornings of this mortal land
Each a new beginning from the maker's hand
While the storms may gather 'gainst the evening sky
The day breaks cloudless in the morning
How long my Lord (how long?) 'till we see the morning?
How long (oh my Lord) 'till we see your face?
Oh my Lord (my Lord)
Guide us through our troubles
'Till we rise above them in the morning
Rise up to the battle for the skies dawn clear
Let us gather courage while the foe draws near
Though the night falls weary, saints of God march on!
And He'll raise our banner in the morning
How long my Lord (how long?) 'till we see the morning?
How long (oh my Lord) 'till we see your face?
Oh my Lord (my Lord)
Guide us through our troubles
'Till we rise above them in the morning
When the trumpet sounds to signal heaven's day
Resurrection morning, when the dead shall wake
What a glorious gathering when the Lord descends
And we rise to meet Him in the morning
How long my Lord (how long?) 'till we see the morning?
How long (oh my Lord) 'till we see your face?
Oh my Lord (my Lord)
Guide us through our troubles
'Till we rise above them in the morning
How long my Lord (how long?) 'till we see the morning?
How long (oh my Lord) 'till we see your face?
Oh my Lord (my Lord)
Guide us through our troubles
'Till we rise above them in the morning
