That Glorious Day Is Coming

Verse 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 heaven,
The Savior will appear,
And gather all His chosen,
To meet Him in the air.

Verse 1

That glorious day is coming,
The hour is hastening on!
Its radiant light is nearing,
Far brighter than the sun;
In yonder clouds of heaven,
The Savior will appear,
And gather all His chosen,
To meet Him in the air.

Verse 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.

Verse 3

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

Verse 2

The saints, then all victorious
Will go to meet their Lord;
An earth both bright and glorious,
Will then be their reward;
And God's own self - there reigning,
Will wipe all tears away;
Nor clouds nor night remaining,
But one eternal day.

Verse 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 morning,
May meet Him in the sky!

Verse 3

O Christian, keep from sleeping,
And let your love abound;

The trumpet soon will sound!

May meet Him in the sky!
