Dayspring from On High

Verse 1 In the temple’s quiet evening, the incense curled through air; An angel stood beside the flame, said, “Zacharias, don’t despair. Your prayers have reached the heavens, friend, a promised boy you’ll raise; Name him John — he’ll clear the road and teach the hearts to praise.” Chorus Dayspring from on high, light this dusty road; Guide my heart and weary hands where mercy’s rivers flow. Through every shadowed valley, till faith meets morning’s sky— Jesus, blessed Savior, Dayspring from on high. Verse 2 Up in humble Naz’reth town, a young girl bowed in prayer; The angel said, “The Lord is near, His Spirit will be there. You’ll carry Heaven’s holy Son, the King of David’s line.” She whispered, “I’m Thy handmaid, Lord; Let Thy will be mine.” (Repeat Chorus) Bridge Hearts are turning homeward, hope is breaking free; The silence lifts in praises, God’s promise lives in me. Final Chorus Dayspring from on high, shine across this night; Lead us to the manger, our King, our Life, our Light. Through every generation, till heaven draws us nigh— Jesus, blessed Savior, Dayspring from on high.
