His Day at Hand

Representative Text

1 The Lord our Sav­ior will appear;
His day is nigh at hand;
The signs be­speak His com­ing near,
And all may un­der­stand.

2 Behold, He comes! He comes to reign
On earth with all His saints;
Then Je­sus, Lamb of God once slain,
Will end our long com­plaints.

3 The prince of dark­ness He will bind;
The hosts of hell o’er­throw;
And Sa­tan, in th’ab­yss con­fined,
The pow­er of Christ shall know.

4 Then those who suf­fered for His name,
Those who ob­eyed His word,
Shall rise in glo­ry, and pro­claim
The good­ness of their Lord.

5 The won­ders of that hap­py age
What mor­tal can declare?
We view with joy the sac­red page,
For we can read them there.

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
