Lyrics

When the Lord shall come in glo­ry
On the co­ro­na­tion day,
When its ev­er­last­ing light
On us is dawn­ing,
All the clouds of time shall van­ish,
And the sha­dows flee away,
When we wak­en in the
Resurrection morn­ing.

Refrain

In the morn­ing, bless­èd morn­ing,
O the glo­ry of the
Resurrection morn­ing!
We shall ga­ther at His side,
In His like­ness sa­tis­fied,
When we wak­en in the
Resurrection morn­ing.

When the ties so sad­ly sev­ered
Shall be reu­nit­ed there,
Where shall en­ter nev­er­more
A pain or sor­row,
We shall know His joy ex­cel­leth
Every long­ing, eve­ry pray­er,
When we wak­en on the blest,
Eternal mor­row.

Refrain

When the fight with sin is over,
And the vic­tors robed in white
Meet in that blest home where harps
Are ev­er ring­ing,
They shall praise the migh­ty Sav­ior
Who has giv­en life and light;
Unto Him who loved us,
All the ran­somed sing­ing.

Refrain
