Lyrics 1 Saw ye not the promised day, Breaking o'er the mountain height? Doubt and darkness flee awy, Tremblin at its dawning light. Chorus: Bless Jesus, reign forever Let salvation, like a river, Rolling onward, onward still, All the world with gladness fill. 2 Heard ye not the welcome sound, Wafted o'er the heaving main? Now the fruits of joy abount, Precious souls are born again. 3 Sing, O Zion, land of rest, They are flocking home to thee; From the East, the North, the West, And the Isles beyond the sea.
