Author: Franklin Edson Belden Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16147 First Line: Sweet promise, I will come again Refrain First Line: Happy day, O happy day! Lyrics:
1 Sweet promise, "I will come again;
Go preach this Gospel to all men";
"Come quickly, Lord," my soul doth say,
"And bring that happy day."
Refrain:
Happy day, O happy day!
Happy day, O happy day!
Come quickly, Lord, no more delay;
Come quickly, happy day.
2 The righteous dead shall then arise;
With living saints ascend the skies;
And Satan in this vale of tears
Be bound a thousand years. [Refrain]
3 The city bright shall then appear,
The wicked then be raised to hear
The Judge’s awful sentence dire,
And earth shall melt with fire. [Refrain]
4 Then shall it blossom as of old,
In beauty glorious to behold!
And sin and death be found no more
On that immortal shore. [Refrain]
Tune Title: [Sweet promise, I will come again]
