The Crowning Day

Our pain shall then be over, We'll sin and sigh no more, Behind us all of sorrow, And naught but joy before, A joy in our Redeemer, As we to Him are nigh, In the crowning day that's coming by and by. Oh, the crowning day is coming, Is coming by and by, When our Lord shall come in "power," And "glory" from on high, Oh, the glorious night will gladden, Each waiting watchful eye, In the crowning day that's coming by and by. 4. Let all that look for, hasten The coming joyful day, By earnest consecration, To walk the narrow way, By gath'ring in the lost ones, For whom our Lord did die, For the crowning day that's coming by and by. Oh, the crowning day is coming, Is coming by and by, When our Lord shall come in "power," And "glory" from on high, Oh, the glorious night will gladden, Each waiting watchful eye, In the crowning day that's coming by and by.
