[Verse 1]
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.
