169. There is coming on a great day of rejoicing

1 There is coming on a great day of rejoicing,
When all the ransomed shall gather, their Lord as King to crown;
All earth’s sorrow and its sin then disappearing,
Every heart will the Saviour then own.

Refrain:
O the crowning day is coming,
Hallelujah!
O the crowning day is coming,
Praise the Lord!
For our Saviour-King shall reign,
He shall have his own again,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

2 From far distant lands battalions now are marching,
Who will have part in the honours which Jesus will bestow;
God be praised for all the souls that now are starting,
Swelling the hosts that to victory go.

3 Do you, comrades, feel at times a bit downhearted,
When in the fight all looks dark, and the foe seems fierce and strong?
At such times I find my fear has all departed
When I remember that day coming on.
