  1. The church of the morning bright,
    Like crystal so clear her light,
    Triumphant, she knew no fears;
    In finest white linen dressed,
    Pure holiness she possessed
    Two hundred and sev’nty years.
    • Refrain:
      Hell never can destroy the church,
      Built by the Savior’s hands;
      Upon the Rock, the solid Rock,
      Christ Jesus, still she stands;
      In spite of persecution’s flood,
      And gates of hell forsooth;
      She’s still the kingdom of the Lord,
      The pillar of the truth.
  2. The sun went down ere his time,
    The moon also ceased to shine,
    Left Zion in bitter tears;
    No star then appeared in sight,
    Oh, long dreary papal night!
    Twelve hundred and sixty years.
  3. A rising the sun of day,
    Disperses the night away
    While popery quakes with fears;
    Shone dimly the gospel ray,
    There followed a cloudy day—
    Three hundred and fifty years.
  4. We welcome the evening light;
    The gospel so clear and bright
    Breaks forth as in days of yore;
    The mists are all cleared away,
    All hail the supernal day!
    The sun shall go down no more.
