There is coming on a great day of rejoicing,
When all the ransomed shall gather,
Their Lord as king to crown;
All earth’s sorrow and its sin then disappearing,
Every heart will the Saviour then own.
O the crowning day is coming,
Hallelujah!
O the crowning day is coming,
Praise the Lord!
For our Saviour-King shall reign,
He shall have His own again,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
From far distant lands battalions now are marching,
Who will have part in the honors
Which Jesus will bestow;
God be praised for all the souls that now are starting,
Swelling the hosts that to victory go.
O the crowning day is coming,
Hallelujah!
O the crowning day is coming,
Praise the Lord!
For our Saviour-King shall reign,
He shall have His own again,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
Do you, comrades, feel at times a bit downhearted,
When in the fight all looks dark,
And the foe seems fierce and strong?
At such times I find my fear has all departed
When I remember that day coming on.
O the crowning day is coming,
Hallelujah!
O the crowning day is coming,
Praise the Lord!
For our Saviour-King shall reign,
He shall have His own again,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
