The glorious day is coming

7s & 6s.

1

The glorious day is coming,The hour is rolling on,Its radiant light is beaming,Resplendent as the sun;In yon bright clouds of heavenThe Savior will appear,And gather all his chosenTo meet him in the air.

2

Then fire, from God descending,Shall sweep this wide earth o'er,And nations, loud lamenting,Shall sink to rise no more.Though tears with groans are blended,Yet still in vain they cry;The day of hope is ended,The sinner now must die.

3

But saints shall be victorious,And joy to meet the Lord;An earth more bright and gloriousIs promised in his word.Our God himself, there reigning,Shall wipe all tears away;No clouds or night remaining,But one eternal day.

4

O, Christian! wake from sleeping,And let your works abound;Be watching, praying, weeping,For soon the trump will sound.O, sinner! hear the warning,TO JESUS QUICKLY FLY!Then you on that blest morningMay meet him in the sky.
