1 O happy day when we shall stand
Amid the heav'nly throne,
And sing with hosts from ev'ry land
The new celestial song.

2 O blesséd day! From far and near
The servants of the Lord
Shall meet the ransomed millions there
Who heard God's saving Word.

3 O what a mighty, rushing flood
Of love without surcease,
Shall roll about the throne of God
In joy and endless peace!

4 God, may Thy bounteous grace inspire
Our hearts so that we may
All join the heavenly white-robed choir
Upon that glorious day.
