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 fly!
Then
you, in that blest morning,
May
meet Him in the sky!
