The Lord Will Come Some Day

We are on the road of joy

With a mes­sage of good cheer

Till the Church for Christ has won;

And we tra­vel with the King

And His prais­es we will sing

As the march goes on and on;

Every heart is ring­ing true

And by faith we’re watch­ing

too

For the per­fect day to come;

Oh

we know the time is near

When the sign shall thus ap­pear

For Christ to lead His loved ones home.

Marching on

on

to tell the glad good news

That the Lord will come some day;

Marching on

on

to save the world from sin

And pro­claim the joy­ful way;

Marching on

on

the pro­mis­es are sure

He is com­ing by and by;

We’ll watch and work for Him each day

Till the clouds shall roll away

And we shall see Him in the sky.

We are on the road of joy

And we’ll meet the Lord some­where

Caught with Him up in the air;

For a sea­son there re­main

And re­turn to earth again

And with Christ His joys we’ll share;

Every heart is ring­ing true

And with love is yearn­ing

too

For the per­fect day to dawn;

Oh

the glo­ry that will be

When His face we all shall see

When Christ on earth shall meet His own.

Tell the news to ev­ery one

That the Sav­ior comes again

What a joy­ful theme to sing;

Ring it from the mount­ain top

And pro­claim it in the shop

To the world this mes­sage bring;

Every heart must ring it true

And in faith must live it

too

Hasten now the per­fect day;

For His com­ing will be soon

He’ll dis­pel all doubt and gloom

And we shall reign with Him for aye.
