1. O let us rejoice in the work of the Lord,
The Service of Jesus brings blessed reward;
The shadows shall flee from love’s conquering day,
The light of the gospel is winning its way.
(Chorus) Winning its way, winning its way,
Glorious dawn of a better day;
Winning its way, winning its way,
The light of the gospel is winning its way.
2. The mountains are kindling, and soon the bright glow
Will carry the joy to the valleys below;
The King presseth onward, his wheels will not stay,
The light of the gospel is winning its way.
3. The darkness may linger, the night may seem long,
But Christ shall be Victor, right triumph o’er wrong;
We’ll tell the glad story, His bidding obey,
The light of the gospel is winning its way.
4. The moon as the glittering sunlight will shine,
The sun sevenfold in His glory divine;
The sky’s growing radiant with hope’s blushing ray,
The light of the gospel is winning its way.
