O golden day, so long desired,

by Charles A. Dickinson

Representative text

As printed in The Church Hymnal (1941), no. 434 — the newest hymnal carrying it.

Verse 1

O golden day, so long desired, Born of a darksome night, The waiting earth at last is fired By thy resplendent light. And hark! the promised heavenly chord Is heard from sea to sea, This song: One Master, Christ the Lord, And brethren all are we.

Verse 2

The noises of the night shall cease, The storms no longer roar; The factious foes of love and peace Shall vex the soul no more. A thousand thousand voices sing The surging harmony; One Master, Christ, one Saviour King, And brethren all are we.

Verse 3

Sing on, ye heralds of the morn, Your grand endeavor strain, Till Christian hearts estranged and torn, Blend in the glad refrain; And all the church, with all its powers, In loving loyalty, Shall sing: One Master, Christ, is ours, And brethren all are we.

Verse 4

O golden day! the ages crown, Aglow with heavenly love, Rare day in prophecy's renown, On to thy zenith move, When earth and heaven with one accord, In full-voiced unity, Shall sing: One Master, Christ our Lord, And brethren all are we.
