Dawn’s Early Light--By Lisa DeVinney--United States

Dawn’s Early Light

The shadows of the night are fading fast;

The light of a new dawn is stealing in.

The earth will not turn back upon the past;

But forward to a new day it will spin.

The tears of sorrow’s night will fall away,

Brushed gently by God’s tender, healing hand;

As joy is ushered in with this new day

Which dawns upon the soul, at His command.

The long, cold night of weeping is behind.

A day bathed in the Son now lies before.

And once again, His promises remind

Of blessings that the Father has in store.
