Hymn - Where is the promise that day is advancing

                 I.
Where is the promise that day is advancing?
     When shall the morning of jubilee dawn?
Lo! in the Eastward, a starbeam is glancing,
     Lovely, and bright on the brow of the morn.

                 II.
Soon may the sunrise of Freedom in splendor,
     Glance o’er a world in the midnight of wrong;
Then shall the tyrant oppressor surrender
     Him, to himself, he hath trampled so long.

                 III.
Wait awhile, brother, thy servitude under;
     So shall the morning of freedom be calm;
Speed thou oppressor, thy manacles sunder
     Speed, for Jehovah is baring his arm!

                 V.
Now is the day, and the hour of repentance;
     Turn from the evil and all may be well;
Back! ere thou sink at thy terrible sentence,
     Down in the jaws of Destruction and Hell!
