The Crowning Day (Blair)

Are you march­ing in the ar­my of our king

To that gold­en land of bliss be­yond the sky?

Even now His prais­es bring

Let the chor­us loud­ly ring

For the crown­ing day is com­ing by and by.

Oh

the crown­ing day is com­ing

is com­ing by and by

Yes

the crown­ing day is com­ing

is com­ing by and by.

There are crowns for you and me!

Crowns of gold

by faith

we’ll see

Crowns and king­doms in a bet­ter world on high.

Are you fight­ing ’neath the ban­ner of the cross

True and faith­ful to your Sav­ior till you die?

If sus­tain­ing earth­ly loss

Know these trea­sures are but dross

And the crown­ing day is com­ing by and by.

Hear the Sav­ior’s voice above the strife and din

While the fie­ry darts of Sa­tan ’round you fly!

You the vic­to­ry shall win

Over death

and hell

and sin

For the crown­ing day is com­ing by and by.

We’ll press on­ward to that coun­try won­drous fair

To that fai­ry land of peace be­yond the sky;

Earthly crowns can­not com­pare

With the crowns the saints shall wear

In the crown­ing day that’s com­ing by and by.
