D                        G
'Tis almost time for the Lord to come,

  D               A
I hear the people say,

A7  D                   G
The stars of heaven are growing dim,

   D           A               D
It must be the breaking of the day.
[Chorus]
D
O it must be the breaking of the day,

     A                           D
O it must be the breaking of the day.

D
The night is almost gone,

    G             D
The day is coming on,

                 A               D
O it must be the breaking of the day.
[Verse 2]
D                         G
The signs foretold in the sun and moon,

   D                   A
In earth, and sea, and sky;

A7  D                    G
A - loud proclaim to the race of men,

         D             A              D
That the coming of the Master draweth nigh.
[Chorus]
D
O it must be the breaking of the day,

     A                           D
O it must be the breaking of the day.

D
The night is almost gone,

    G             D
The day is coming on,

                 A               D
O it must be the breaking of the day.
[Verse 3]
D                       G
It must be time for the waiting church

   D                A
To cast her pride a-way;

A7   D                G
With girded loins and burning lamps,

   D            A               D
To look for the breaking of the day.
[Chorus]
D
O it must be the breaking of the day,

     A                           D
O it must be the breaking of the day.

D
The night is almost gone,

    G             D
The day is coming on,

                 A               D
O it must be the breaking of the day.
[Verse 4]
D                     G
Go quickly out in the streets and lanes,

    D                A
And in the broad highway,

A7  D                    G
And call the maimed, the halt and blind,

      D             A               D
To be ready for the breaking of the day.
[Chorus]
D
O it must be the breaking of the day,

     A                           D
O it must be the breaking of the day.

D
The night is almost gone,

    G             D
The day is coming on,

                 A               D
O it must be the breaking of the day.
