O golden day,
when light shall break,
And dawn’s bright
glories shall unfold,
When He Who knows
the path I take
Shall ope for me the gates of gold!
Earth’s little while will soon be past,
My pilgrim song will soon be over,
The grace that saves
shall time outlast,
And be my theme on yonder shore.
Then I shall know as I am known,
And stand complete
before the throne;
Then I shall see my Savior’s face,
And all my song
shall be saving grace.
Life’s upward way, a narrow path,
Leads on to that fair dwelling place,
Where, safe from sin,
and storm, and wrath,
They live who trust
redeeming grace.
Sing, sing, my heart, along the way,
The grace that saves
will keep and guide
Till breaks the
glorious crowning day,
And I shall cross to yonder side.
Then I shall know as I am known,
And stand complete
before the throne;
Then I shall see my Savior’s face,
And all my song
shall be saving grace.
I dimly see my journey’s end,
But well I know Who guideth me.
I follow Him, that wondrous Friend,
Whose matchless love
is full and free.
And when with Him I enter in,
And all the way look back to trace,
The conqueror’s palm
I then shall win,
Through Christ
and His redeeming grace.
Then I shall know as I am known,
And stand complete
before the throne;
Then I shall see my Savior’s face,
And all my song
shall be saving grace.
