Verse 1

[D]There’s[G] a li[D]ght u[G]pon the moun[G]tains[D], and[G] the day is at the spring,
[E7]when o[Am]ur eyes s[E]hall [Am]see the bea[Em]uty and t[D]he glory of the King;
[D]wear[G]y was [D7]our hea[E]rt with wa[E7]iting, a[G]nd th[E7]e n[Am]ight-watch seemed so long;
[B7]but Hi[Em]s triu[E]mph-d[Am]ay is breaki[G]ng, an[D]d we [G]hail it with a song.

Verse 2

[D]In th[G]e fad[D]ing o[G]f the star[G]light[D] we m[G]ay see the coming morn;
[E7]and th[Am]e lights[E] of m[Am]en are pal[Em]ing in the s[D]plendours of the dawn:
[D]for th[G]e eas[D7]tern ski[E]es are glo[E7]wing as[G] wi[E7]th [Am]light of hidden fire,
[B7]and th[Em]e hearts[E] of m[Am]en are stirr[G]ing wit[D]h the[G] throbs of deep desire.

Verse 3

[D]There’s[G] a hu[D]sh o[G]f expecta[G]tion,[D] and [G]a quiet in the air;
[E7]and th[Am]e breath[E] of [Am]God is mov[Em]ing in the f[D]ervent breath of prayer:
[D]for th[G]e suffe[D7]ring, [E]dying Je[E7]sus is[G] th[E7]e Ch[Am]rist upon the throne,
[B7]and the[Em] travai[E]l of [Am]our spirit [G]is th[D]e trav[G]ail of His own.

Verse 4

[D]He i[G]s brea[D]king d[G]own the ba[G]rriers[D], He [G]is casting up the way;
E7 Am  E  Am   Em   D
He is calling for His angels to build up the gates of day:
[D]but H[G]is an[D7]gels he[E]re are hu[E7]man, n[G]ot t[E7]he [Am]shining hosts a - bove;
[B7]for th[Em]e drum -b[E]eats[Am] of His ar[G]my are [D]the h[G]eart-beats of our love.

Verse 5

[D]Hark! [G]we he[D]ar a d[G]istant mu[G]sic, an[D]d it [G]comes with fuller swell;
[E7]’tis th[Am]e trium[E]ph-so[Am]ng of Jesu[Em]s, of ou[D]r King, Emmanuel:
[D]Zion[G], go [D7]ye for[E]th to meet [E7]Him; an[G]d, m[E7]y s[Am]oul, be swift to bring
[B7]all th[Em]y sweetn[E]ess a[Am]nd thy dear[G]est fo[D]r th[G]e triumph of our King!
