[Verse 1]
D'Tis almost time for the GLord to come,
I Dhear the people Asay,
A7The Dstars of heaven are Ggrowing dim,
It Dmust be the Abreaking of the Dday.
[Chorus]
DO it must be the breaking of the day,
O it Amust be the breaking of the Dday.
DThe night is almost gone,
The Gday is coming Don,
O it must be the Abreaking of the Dday.
[Verse 2]
DThe signs foretold in the Gsun and moon,
In Dearth, and sea, and Asky;
A7A - Dloud proclaim to the Grace of men,
That the Dcoming of the AMaster draweth Dnigh.
[Chorus]
DO it must be the breaking of the day,
O it Amust be the breaking of the Dday.
DThe night is almost gone,
The Gday is coming Don,
O it must be the Abreaking of the Dday.
[Verse 3]
DIt must be time for the Gwaiting church
To Dcast her pride a-Away;
A7With Dgirded loins and Gburning lamps,
To Dlook for the Abreaking of the Dday.
[Chorus]
DO it must be the breaking of the day,
O it Amust be the breaking of the Dday.
DThe night is almost gone,
The Gday is coming Don,
O it must be the Abreaking of the Dday.
[Verse 4]
DGo quickly out in the Gstreets and lanes,
And Din the broad highAway,
A7And Dcall the maimed, the Ghalt and blind,
To be Dready for the Abreaking of the Dday.
[Chorus]
DO it must be the breaking of the day,
O it Amust be the breaking of the Dday.
DThe night is almost gone,
The Gday is coming Don,
O it must be the Abreaking of the Dday.
