Oh How Fair That Morning Broke
VERSE 1
Oh how
fair that morning broke,
When in
Eden man awoke!
Beast
and bird and insect bright
Reveled
in the gladsome light;
God
looked down from Heav’n above,
All was
life and joy and love.
VERSE 2
Ah! the
doleful change when sin
Darkly,
subtly entered in!
War and
pestilence and dearth
Mar and
sadden God’s fair earth;
Human
sorrow fills the air;
Death is
reigning everywhere.
VERSE 3
Yet rejoice;
for God on high
Hath not
left His world to die!
God’s
dear Son, with dying breath,
Broke
the power of sin and death;
Christ
the Tempter overthrew,
Christ
is making all things new.
VERSE 4
Lord, in
me be sin subdued,
So may I
with heart renewed,
Fight
the fight and run the race,
Work in
my appointed place,
Waiting
for the glad new birth
Of Thy
perfect Heav’n and earth.
