There Is Coming on a Great Day of Rejoicing

Composer: Richard Slater, 1887

There is com­ing on a great day of re­joic­ing

When all the ran­somed shall ga­ther

Their Lord as king to crown;

All earth’s sor­row and its sin then dis­ap­pear­ing

Every heart will the Sav­ior then own.

O the crown­ing day is com­ing

Hallelujah!

O the crown­ing day is com­ing

Praise the Lord!

For our Sav­ior-King shall reign

He shall have His own again

Hallelujah

Hal­le­lu­jah!

From far dist­ant lands bat­tal­ions now are march­ing

Who will have part in the hon­ors

Which Je­sus will be­stow;

God be praised for all the souls that now are start­ing

Swelling the hosts that to vic­to­ry go.

Do you

com­rades

feel at times a bit down­heart­ed

When in the fight all looks dark

And the foe seems fierce and strong?

At such times I find my fear has all de­part­ed

When I re­mem­ber that day com­ing on.
