’Twas sung by the poets,
foreseen in the spirit,
A time of refreshing is near;
When creeds and divisions
would fall to demerit,
And saints in sweet union appear.
Oh, glory to Jesus!
we hail the bright day,
And high on our banner
salvation display,
The mists of confusion
are passing away.
We stand in the glory
that Jesus has given,
The moon, as the dayspring
doth shine;
The light of the sun
is now equal to seven,
So bright is the glory divine.
Oh, glory to Jesus!
we hail the bright day,
And high on our banner
salvation display,
The mists of confusion
are passing away.
Now filled with the Spirit
and clad in the armour
Of light and omnipotent truth;
We’ll testify ever,
and Jesus we’ll honour
And stand from sin Babel aloof.
Oh, glory to Jesus!
we hail the bright day,
And high on our banner
salvation display,
The mists of confusion
are passing away.
The prophet’s keen vision,
transpiercing the ages,
Beheld us to Zion return;
We’ll sing of our freedom,
though Babylon rages,
We’ll shout as her city doth burn.
Oh, glory to Jesus!
we hail the bright day,
And high on our banner
salvation display,
The mists of confusion
are passing away.
The fig tree is budding,
the “evening” is shining,
We welcome the wonderful light!
We look for the Saviour,
for time is declining,
Eternity’s looming in sight!
Oh, glory to Jesus!
we hail the bright day,
And high on our banner
salvation display,
The mists of confusion
are passing away.
