Hail That Blissful Day Approaching

Hail that bliss­ful day ap­proach­ing

When the sac­red Word shall spread

To the earth’s re­mot­est re­gions

And to life re­store the dead:

When all na­tions

Shall ack­now­ledge Christ their head.

Precious Bi­ble

what a trea­sure

Is with­in thy pag­es stored

Sacred pro­mis­es and pre­cepts

Doctrines wor­thy of the Lord;

Streams of mer­cy

Flowing wide and far abroad.

By their in­flu­ence

the des­ert

Shall become a fer­tile plain

Buds and blos­soms spread their beau­ties

Concord there beg­in its reign:

Precious Bi­ble

May it still new con­quests gain.
