Millennium Superworld — Appendix A
We Saw the Morning Break
Look back from Millennial Year 400
The setting for this poem is some four hundred years inside the millennium. The speaker is someone from our day who was living when the morning, the great Day of the Lord, arrived. The audience is a group of young Millennium mortals, whose cup of blessing is fuller than they can realize.

Oh come, my children, while I tell
Of former times we knew so well,
The age before Christ came to dwell |
| | And make all things anew.
|
In that age there were just a few,
Who would believe God's Word so true,
The only ones on earth who knew |
| | And I was one of them!
|
We watched with longing, anxious eyes,
For we knew He would bring the prize
To all the ready, working, wise— |
| | And He would not be late.
|
We turned the pages of God's Book
To learn the things for which to look,
While for our pattern Christ we took, |
| | His life of holiness.
|
And when the Scriptures we rehearsed,
We read Elijah would come first;
When things were at their very worst |
| | The Prophet great would come.
