Sweet promise, I will come again

Verse 1

Sweet promise, "I will come again; Go preach this gospel to all men;" "Come quickly, Lord," my soul doth say, "And bring that happy day."

Chorus

Happy day, O happy day! Happy, O happy day! Come quickly Lord, no more delay; Come quickly, happy day.

Verse 2

The righteous dead shall then arise, With living saints ascend the skies; And Satan in this vale of tears Be bound a thousand years.

Verse 3

The city bright shall then appear, The wicked then be raised to hear The Judge's awful sentence dire, And earth shall melt with fire.

Verse 4

Then shall it blossom as of old, In beauty glorious to behold; And sin and death be found no more On that immortal shore.
