“The sands of time are sinking
The dawn of heaven breaks;
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair, sweet morn, awakes.
Dark, dark hath been the midnight,
But dayspring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwellth
In Immanuel's hand”
Verse 1 Hymn 776 Baptist Hymnal.

And find such beaming eyes awake?”
Fly not yet.
