The Glorious Day Is Coming (Simkins)

Oh

the glo­ri­ous day is com­ing

By faith its dawn­ing see!

When right­eous­ness shall rule the world

And men in­deed be free:

When wea­ry souls shall cease to mourn

By weight of woe op­pressed;

When Christ shall reign in ev­ery heart

By ev­ery tongue con­fessed.

Oh

the glo­ri­ous day is com­ing—

Yes

’tis com­ing! Hal­le­lu­jah!

Shout

O Earth

the joy­ful cry!

See! the glo­ry beams are ev­en now il­lum­ing

The glow­ing ban­ners of the morn­ing sky.

Yes

the Lord is sure­ly com­ing

His king­dom draw­eth nigh

When gloom and night shall flee away

And er­ror writhe and die.

Lo

He shall come

and by His pow­er

Redeem the world from sin;

The thou­sand years so long fore­told

In that day shall be­gin.

Then the Con­quer­or of the na­tions

Shall ban­ish ev­ery wrong

And earth

now sad with sighs and tears

Shall then be filled with song:

And we shall lay our ar­mor down

Our earth­ly war­fare o’er

Called home to be with God

and reign

With Him for­ev­er­more.
