Speed the Day

Verse 1

Precious tidings we hear, Both from far and near, And our hearts are glad today; For in God is our trust, And succeed we must; None His mighty arm can stay.

Chorus

Speed the day, happy day, When the wrong shall fail, and the right prevail; Speed the day, happy day, Speed the happy, happy, happy day.

Verse 2

Tho' the foe may be strong To uphold the wrong, We will never doubt or fear; But will urge on the fight, And maintain the right, Till the wrong shall disappear.

Verse 3

Then to God let us raise Loudest songs of praise, For the work already done; And if faithful we prove, In His courts above We shall sing of victory won.
