9759. The Day Of Christ

1 Come, day of Christ’s dominion,
Day of abounding light;
When I on joyous pinion,
To Him shall take my flight.

2 Day when in clouds and glory
He, in His might appears;
Then I’ll forget the story
Of many weary years.

3 Day when the souls returning,
Their erstwhile homes shall claim;
And hearts with strange joy burning,
Shall praise His joyous name.

4 Day when death, sin and sorrow
Beneath His feet are trod;
Oh! hasten that glad tomorrow,
Dear, loving Father—God.

5 Day when, no more to sever,
Our Savior we shall greet;
To be with Him forever,
Oh! portion rich and sweet.
