Our Lord is now rejected
And by the world disowned:
By the many still neglected,
And by the few enthroned;
But soon He'll come in glory!
The hour is hour is drawing nigh,
For the crowning day is coming by and by.
Refrain:
O the crowning day is coming,
Is coming by and by,
When our Lord shall come in power
And glory from on high!
O the glorious sight will gladden
Each waiting, watchful eye,
In the crowning day that's coming by and by.
The heav'ns shall glow with splendor;
But brighter far than they,
The saints shall shine in glory,
As Christ shall them array:
The beauty of the Saviour
Shall dazzle dazzle ev'ry eye
In the crowning day that's coming by and by.
Our pain shall then be over;
We'll sin and sigh no more;
Behind us all of sorrow,
And naught but joy before—
A joy in our Redeemer,
As we to we to Him are nigh
In the crowning day that's coming by and by.
Let all that look for hasten
The joyful coming day
By earnest consecration,
To walk the narrow way;
By gath'ring in the lost ones
For whom our whom our Lord did die,
For the crowning day that's coming by and by.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
