1. The glorious Christ comes for His Bride,
The firstfruits of earth are they;
Great saints from all the kindreds, tribes,
Who waited for His Day.
All through the past was this blissful thought,
And this light that led the way,
What a joyous hope when the battle’s fought,
On Crowning Day! On Crowning Day!
2. The sages past in visions saw,
The reign of Jehovah’s Day;
The earth restored to Eden’s state,
With holiness the way.
No more with wars, but a reign of peace,
Where the wolves and lambs do play,
There the deserts bloom, and all life increase,
The Lord is there! The Lord is there!
3. Eternal Christ comes back to earth,
The source of our life is He;
Oh, earth, thy doubts shall then all cease,
He’ll reign from sea to sea.
The angels now with the trumpets wait,
All a shining throng they be,
As a lightning breaks, be the rapture date,
When morning breaks! When morning breaks!
4. The saints shall rise each from his grave,
And we on the earth who pray,
Shall then be changed when the trumpet sounds,
As Scriptures truly say.
On earth distress and all signs do show,
That the Christ will not delay,
It is time to wake for the truth we know,
He surely comes! He surely comes!
5. The throne they’ll share, for each a crown,
To saints whom the Lord doth own,
His Kingdom share where sun e’er shines,
There sin is never known.
Oh! hearken, Bride in your garments bright,
For to you is Christ’s great throne,
There the faithful throng in the glory light,
Eternal day! Eternal Day!
