That will be a hap­py morn­ing,
When He comes, when He comes;
Ended then our grief and mourn­ing,
When He comes, when He comes;
All earth’s sor­row­ing and sad­ness,
Will be turned to joy and glad­ness,
When the King of glo­ry comes,
When He comes.

Refrain

When the King of glo­ry comes,
What a glo­ri­ous day,
When the King of glo­ry comes,
Sin will pass away;
On the throne our king will reign,
All will be per­fect­ion then;
Peace will come to earth again,
When He comes.

Life will all be fair­er, bright­er,
When He comes, when He comes;
Hearts will then be pur­er, whit­er,
When He comes, when He comes;
Christ, fore­told in song and sto­ry,
Then will ma­ni­fest His glo­ry,
When the King of glo­ry comes,
When He comes.

Refrain

Lo! the day is swift­ly wan­ing,
When He comes, when He comes;
Ready be for His ap­pear­ing,
When He comes, when He comes;
Soul, put on thy best adorn­ing,
Patiently await the morn­ing,
When the King of glo­ry comes,
When He comes.
