My sister and I used to sing this when we were growing up
60+ years ago. I don't know who the writer was.
I believe the words were as follows:
V.1 Time may come and go, men run to and fro,
Seeking for a gain they know not where;
Day is almost gone, night is stealing on,
Pain and death and sorrow's in the air.
Chorus
When Jesus breaks the morning,
The host of heaven will sing
Hosanna in the highest
Christ is our conquering King
We'll clasp our hands together
Around God's great white throne;
And join the angels singing
Alas, at last we're home.
V.2 Life may come and go, Love to others show
While we're in this world of sin and woe
Looking to the Lord and Living by His Word
Hear Him sweetly calling enter in
Chorus
When Jesus breaks the morning,
The host of heaven will sing
Hosanna in the highest
Christ is our conquering King
We'll clasp our hands together
Around God's great white throne;
And join the angels singing
Alas, at last we're home.
Ending
We'll join the angels singing
Alas, at last we're home.
