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 Sav­ior then own.

Refrain

O the crown­ing day is com­ing,
Hallelujah!
O the crown­ing day is com­ing,
Praise the Lord!
For our Sav­ior-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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain
