The Glorious Day. A Hymn Set to Music

The Glorious Day Belmont, C. M. William Gardiner, 1812 i The glorious day is rolling on — All glor-y to the Lord — J '^ l — c— i— S — LS-# — i- When, fair as at cre-a-tion's dawn, The earth will be re - stored. iF^^SpF^ fill A perfect harvest then will crown The renovated soil. And rich abundance drop around Without corroding toil. For, in its own primeval bloom Will nature smile again, And blossoms, fragrant with perfume, Adorn the verdant' plain. The Saints will then, with pure delight, Possess the holy land, And walk with Jesus Christ in white, And in his presence stand. What glorious prospects! Can we claim These hopes, and call them ours? Yes, if, through faith in Jesus' name, We conquer Satan's powers; If we, like Jesus, bear the cross, Like him despise the shame, And count all earthly things but dross, For his most holy name. Then, when the powers of darkness rage, With glory in our view. In Jesus' strength let us engage, To press to Zion through. For Zion will like Fden bloom, And Jesus come to reign; The Saints, immortal from the tomb, With angels meet again. — Eliza R. Snow.
