Day of Life

Verse 1

Lo, the day, the day of life! Day of unimagined light, Day when death itself shall die, And there shall be no more night!

Verse 2

See the King desired for ages, By the just expected long, Long implored, at length He hasteth, Cometh with salvation strong.

Verse 3

O how past all utterance happy, Sweet and joyful it will be, When they who, unseen, have loved Him, Jesus face to face shall see.

Verse 4

Blessèd then, earth’s patient mourners, Who for Christ have toiled and died, Driven by the world’s rough pressure In those mansions to abide!

Verse 5

What will be the bliss and rapture None can dream, and none can tell, There to reign among the angels, In that heavenly home to dwell.
