The bright and blessed day will come,
When Jesus we shall see,
And with Him in the glory bright
For evermore shall be.
The Shepherd’s heart will then rejoice
That all His lambs are there,
And every heart and every voice
In His great joy shall share.
The Lord will see us pure and bright,
And whiter than the snow,
And we shall be His heart’s delight,
Because He loves us so.
We then will sing and praise our God
For all His love and grace,
That we, who once were far away,
Now stand before His face.
In His sweet song we too shall join,
All standing round His throne,
Like lilies in His garden fair,
Each pure and spotless one.
Let those who love Him bless His name
For all the joy to come,
When we shall be with Christ above,
In God our Father’s home.
O! then we’ll praise Him for the joy
Of Jesus Christ our Lord,
For His eternal deep delight,
His endless bright reward.
