When he comes in all his glory
For his children gone astray,
When he comes in all his glory -
That'll be a happy day.
When at last there is an end to weeping,
Every cruelty cast away.
When at last there is an end to weeping -
That'll be a happy day,
That'll be a happy day.
Oh Lord, let me see
As they lay my body weary
As they lay my body down in the ground.
As they lay my body down in the ground.
And up from every ocean riseth
A fearsome river to wash away.
Up from every ocean riseth -
That'll be a happy day.
Oh Brother Daniel, are you watching
The golden light on feet of clay?
Oh Brother Daniel, are you watching?
This'll be a happy day,
This'll be a happy day!
Oh Lord, let me see
As they lay my body weary
As they lay my body down in the ground.
As they lay my body down in the ground.
When he comes in all his glory
For his children gone astray
When he comes in all his glory
That'll be a happy day,
That'll be a happy day,
That'll be a happy day,
That'll be a happy day
