When shall I see the day
1
When shall I see the dayThat ends my woes?When shall I victory gainO'er all my foes?
2
When will the trumpet sound,That calls me home?The grand, sabbatic year,—When will it come?
3
In yonder realms of light,By faith I seeA crown of glory bright,Prepared for me.
4
O may I soon beholdThat happy day,When sorrow, sin, and painShall flee away!
5
O may I ever keepThe prize in view,And through the storms of lifeMy way pursue!
6
Jesus, be thou my guide,My steps attend;O keep me near thy side;Be thou my friend.
7
Be thou my shield and sun,Be thou my guard;And, when my work is done,My great reward.
