What a Time That Will Be

lyricist: James Rowe, 1924
Composer: Frank Stamps

When the night has fled away

And we greet the bet­ter day

What a time that will be!

When we see the man­sions shine

In the ci­ty so di­vine

What a time

what a hap­py time ’twill be!

What a time that will be

For the souls pure and free

When around the throne we sing

To our ev­er­last­ing king

What a time that will be!

What a time that will be.

When along the streets of gold

Friends and dear ones we be­hold

What a time that will be!

When we ga­ther on the strand

To up­lift ho­san­nas grand

What a time

what a hap­py time ’twill be!

When we know we are at home

Nevermore to toil or roam

What a time that will be!

When we first be­hold the face

Of the King who saves by grace

What a time

what a hap­py time ’twill be!
