A Great Day in Zion

Oh! what a great day in Zi­on ’twill be—

When ov­er the riv­er

We safe­ly have crossed;

We’ll meet our dear friends

Our loved ones we’ll see

Unknown to the world that is lost.

What a great day in Zi­on ’twill be—

When we have crossed o’er Jor­dan’s swift tide

Our voic­es will blend with an­gels in glee

While ho­ver­ing by His dear side.

Oh! what a great day in Zion ’twill be—

When souls shall be hap­py

As nev­er be­fore;

From heart­aches and sor­row we shall be free

When safe­ly we land on yon shore.

Oh! what a great day in Zi­on ’twill be—

’Mid sound­ing of trum­pets

With harp in our hand;

With an­gels of light

the glo­ries we’ll see—

Of Heav­en

the para­dise land.
