Words
⤢ Full screenThe day of rest once more comes round,A day to all believers dear;The silver trumpets seem to sound,That call the tribes of Israel near.
Oh, hasten, Lord, the day when thoseWho know thee here shall see thy face;When suffering shall forever close,And they shall reach their destined place.
