Our Fallen Night is Over

Our fallen night is over now:
     Behold the eastern dawn–
Departing dark before Him bows
     The One for whom we long.

Our wildest dreams have now come true
     In beauty all around,
And all is fresh like morning dew;
     His grace for us abounds.

His day has come, and all rejoice
     In heaven and on earth;
Both men and angels with one voice
     Sing new creation’s birth.

His rainbow is a ladder down
     By which His Son has come
To dress us in Baptismal gown–
     Prepares us all for home.

His daylight now upon us floods,
     And we behold a Cross.
Now courses through our veins His Blood;
     We find the life we lost.
