What a Morning That Will Be

lyricist: Lucinda Bateman, 1890
Composer: James Rosecrans

What a morn­ing that will be

Hal­le­lu­jah!

What a morn­ing! What a morn­ing!

When our eyes the King shall see

Hal­le­lu­jah!

What a morn­ing that will be!

When all the clouds of dark­ness break

When all the dead from dust awake

And all the just His like­ness take

Oh

what a morn­ing that will be!

Full Chorus

Then

awake and swell the song

Hal­le­lu­jah!

Joyful notes of praise pro­long

Hal­le­lu­jah!

When we join the ran­somed throng

Hal­le­lu­jah!

What a day of love and peace that will be.

The dreams of earth will soon be o’er

And death and sor­row come no more

When we awake on yon fair shore

Oh

what a morn­ing that will be!

Full Chorus

No wak­ing doubts

no dark­en­ing fears

No long good­byes in grief and tears

But joy su­preme thro’ end­less years

Oh

what a morn­ing that will be!

Full Chorus

Oh

come away to that bright land

Before the throne of God we’ll stand

And sing with all the ran­somed band

Oh

what a morn­ing that will be!

Full Chorus
