Day of Christ

Verse 1

We wait for a great and glorious day, As many as love the Lord, When shadows shall flee, and clouds pass away, And weeping no more be heard.

Chorus

O wonderful day, that soon may be here! O beautiful hope, the pilgrim to cheer! Thy coming we hail in tuneful accord, Thou glorious day of Christ, our Lord.

Verse 2

In glory and pow’r our King shall appear, And call to Himself His own; No distance, nor death shall part them as here, Nor sin, with its pains, be known.

Verse 3

For crosses we’ve born then crowns will be giv’n, For tempests, eternal calm; For pathway of thorns, rich mansions in Heav’n, For warfare, the victor’s palm.

Verse 4

We know not the day, we know not the hour, When sounds the last trump so clear; But loud rings a cry from truth’s lofty tower, The day of the Lord is near.
