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!
