Our Lord is now rejected

Our Lord is now rejected

And by the world disowned

By the many still neglected

And by the few enthroned;

But soon He’ll come in glory!

The hour is drawing nigh

For the crowning day is coming

By-and-by.

O the crowning day is coming

Is coming by-and-by

When our Lord shall come in power

And glory from on high.

O the glorious sight will gladden

Each waiting

watchful eye

In the crowning day that’s coming

By-and-by.

The heavens shall glow with splendor

But brighter far than they

The saints shall shine in glory

As Christ shall them array.

The beauty of the Savior

Shall dazzle every eye

In the crowning day that’s coming

By-and-by.

Our pain shall then be over

We’ll sin and sigh no more

Behind us all of sorrow

And naught but joy before

A joy in our Redeemer

As we to Him are nigh

In the crowning day that’s coming

By-and-by.

Let all that look for hasten

The coming joyful day

By earnest consecration

To walk the narrow way;

By gathering in the lost ones

For whom our Lord did die

For the crowning day that’s coming

By-and-by.
