Across the valley deep the dawn is breaking,
And mists disperse and melt as comes the light;
On mountain crest the light of dawn is waking;
Before the sunlight flees the phantom night.
So comes the truth and heals all pain and sadness,
God's purity appears, and sense dreams fade;
We waken to the song of ageless gladness,
We see the heaven and earth which God has made.
Lo! sin and sickness melt like mist on mountain,
The seamless robe of Christ we firmly hold;
For Love doth bathe us in the living fountain,
The shepherd keeps us in the one great fold.
