Glorious Time Coming

Oh

the glo­ri­ous time is com­ing

When the right­eous hence will go

Where the Sav­ior

gent­ly call­ing

Crowns im­mor­tal will be­stow.

There are gar­ments white and shin­ing

Golden harps and joy­ous song;

These

in beau­ty ne’er de­clin­ing

To the hap­py saints be­low.

Oh

the glo­ri­ous time is com­ing

Coming

com­ing;

Oh

the glo­ri­ous time is com­ing

When the saints in light

With Christ shall reign;

Oh yes! yes! yes!

The glo­ri­ous time is com­ing

When the saints in light

With Christ shall reign.

There the hap­py

hap­py spir­it

Feels an ev­er­last­ing joy;

Singing an­gels

hov­er­ing near it

Blest re­demp­tion’s songs em­ploy.

Oh

the world of beau­ty blaz­ing

Where the hap­py spir­its go!

Mortal tongue

with all its prais­ing

Never can those beau­ties show.

Yes

the glo­ri­ous time is com­ing;

Trumpets soon will sound the day

When this world shall cease its hum­ming

And the right­eous flee away.

Flee away? yes

up to Je­sus

Round His throne to stand and sing

Who from death’s do­min­ion freed us

Where eter­nal an­thems ring.
