28. The Day of Glory

1 When my labors here on earth are o’er,
And I reach my home on that eternal shore,
With my Savior there forevermore,—
O what a day of glory that will be!

Refrain:
The time will come!
And when at last I reach my home,
I’ll look into His face,
And thank Him for the grace
That paid the price
Of sin at such a sacrifice, —
O what a day of glory that will be!

2 No more sorrow there, no pain, no tears,
No more anxious longing, no more haunting fears,
No more waiting thro’ the lonely years,—
O what a day of glory that will be! [Refrain]

3 When the beauty of eternal skies
Breaks in all its splendor on my op’ning eyes,
When the countless dead in Christ arise,—
O what a day of glory that will be! [Refrain]

4 Where a shadow nevermore is cast,
Where all tears and trials are forever past,
As we sing together “Home at last!”
O what a day of glory that will be! [Refrain]
