cnd Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford-Tennessee gospel group (139* d) Lyr Add: The Sunrise Is Coming 15 Jan 22


The lyrics are close to a version printed in 1945 (Humble Hearts, song No. 63) but differs in places. That version was credited to Walter McCord.

As sung by Pastor & Mrs. Buck Ledford, Western North Carolina Records WNC 245 and A Shut In's Prayer, LFLP 21.

THE SUNRISE IS COMING

God's children in a weary world is waiting
For the sunrise that surely soon shall dawn
When all the war and strife shall cease forever
And the long silenced bells of peace ring on

CHORUS
It is coming (it is coming), surely coming (surely coming)
An age that shines over gloom
The day for which our weary world is waiting
Yes, the sunrise of peace is coming soon

Then someday on a happy glad tomorrow
When the sunrise shall come and flood the soul
Then joy and peace will end our grief and sorrow
And the beauties of heaven shall unfold

CHORUS

Cheer up, though dark the stormy clouds may gather
And the rainbow of hope fades into gloom
For somewhere far above the clouds the Savior
In a glorious light is coming soon

CHORUS
