There's a Happy Time A-coming

Verse 1

There's a happy time a-coming, there's a happy time a-coming, When oppressors shall no longer sit on high. When the proud shall be as stubble, for their sins receiving double; There's a happy time a-coming by and by.

Chorus

Let us wait and labor on, Soon the vict'ry will be won, Soon our suff'ring will be done, There's a happy time a-coming by and by.

Verse 2

Lo, the Lord will come from heaven on the clouds with thunder riven, And the angel host will follow in His train; He'll redeem the world from sadness, and His servants fill with gladness When in power He shall come to earth again.

Verse 3

Let us wait and labor, brother, loving, helping one another, Walking meekly in the laws of God most high; Let us bear reproach and sorrow, 'twill be better on tomorrow– There's a happy day a-coming by and by.
