209- That Glorious Day Is Coming

Jesus Christ: Second Advent

1

  • That glorious day is coming,
  • The hour is hastening on;
  • Its radiant light is nearing,
  • Far brighter than the sun;
  • In yonder clouds of heaven,
  • The Savior will appear,
  • And gather all His chosen,
  • To meet Him in the air.

2

  • The saints, then all victorious
  • Will go to meet their Lord;
  • An earth both bright and glorious,
  • Will then be their reward;
  • And God Himself there reigning,
  • Will wipe all tears away;
  • Nor clouds nor night remaining,
  • But one eternal day.

3

  • O Christian, keep from sleeping,
  • And let your love abound;
  • Be watchful, prayerful, faithful,
  • The trumpet soon will sound!
  • O sinner, hear the warning!
  • To Jesus quickly!
  • Then you, in that blest morning,
  • May meet Him in the sky!
