A Glorious Golden Daybreak, Indeed!

My Dad, Capt. Billy, loves poetry and perhaps his favorite brand of poetry comes in the form of hymns and spiritual songs. This morning with a brokenhearted voice of praise, Dad awoke singing aloud these poetic words of victory. Dad said he sung these words many times over his fishing boat radio for other seamen to hear as they headed out to the sea on early mornings:

(1) Some glorious morning sorrow will cease

Some glorious morning all will be peace

Heartaches all ended, school days all done

Heaven will open--Jesus will come

Some golden daybreak Jesus will come

Some golden daybreak, battles all won

He'll shout the vict'ry, break thro' the blue

Some golden daybreak, for me, for you.

(2) Sad hearts will gladden, all shall be bright

Goodbye forever to earth's dark night

Changed in a moment, like Him to be

Oh, glorious daybreak, Jesus I'll see

Some golden daybreak, Jesus will come

Some golden daybreak, battles all won

He'll shout the vict'ry, break thro' the blue

Some golden daybreak, for me, for you.

(3) Oh, what a meeting, there in the skies

No tears nor crying shall dim our eyes

Loved ones united eternally

Oh, what a daybreak that morn will be

Some golden daybreak Jesus will come

Some golden daybreak, battles all won

He'll shout the vict'ry, break thro' the blue

Some golden daybreak, for me, for you.

These are hard days of trial but also sacred days of triumph because of the Wonderful Name of Jesus.

Let us not forget that If we belong to The Victor, Victory is ours today and Someday it will be truly Visible. The End will be worth it all, faithful friends. The End is only our Beginning -- A Glorious Golden Daybreak, indeed!
