Hail, glorious day! ere long to dawn
1
Hail, glorious day! ere long to dawn,And set death's captives free;Triumphant then will they come forthWith shouts of victory.
2
And when my Saviour shall appear,If in the grave I lie,The last loud trumpet I shall hear,And live, no more to die.
3
It is enough, although I closeIn death my weary eyes,In that bright morn, my Lord to see,And meet him in the skies.
4
And in that resurrection mornI shall his face behold;'Tis then my Lord to me will giveThe starry crown of gold.
