The Day is Coming Soon

 

66 66 D

Tune: ?

 

1 The Day is coming soon

When all flesh shall awake;

When dawn shall darkness break

To trumpets’ strongest tune.

Then saints no more will mourn,

Then faith will stop its fight;

What we by trust have worn

Shall shine with Christ’s own light. 

 

2 Then all of God’s elect

Will meet Christ in the air

With saints from everywhere

Whom God will then perfect.

Then unbelief will die,

Then doubtings all will cease;

Gone sorrow and the sigh,

When speaks the Prince of Peace:

 

3 “Come, by My Father blest,

The kingdom that I own,

What you by faith have known,

Is now by sight possessed. 

No more the wicked walks,

No more the sinners stands,

No more the mocker talks,

In these celestial lands.”

 

4 Your body, turned to dirt,

The Spirit makes to live

Now nevermore to grieve,

And nevermore to hurt;

And good for Christ you’ve done

Will shine, with light replete,

And what He has begun

He shall with joy complete. 

 

5 So rise, my soul, today,

And weary not to do

The good God gives to you

Upon this narrow way.

Soon what is hidden here

Your very eyes shall see,

When soon, soon shall appear

The Holy Trinity.
