LyicsLORD, we expect a day
Still brighter far than this,
When death shall bear our souls away
To realms of light and bliss.
There rapturous scenes of joy
Shall burst upon our sight;
And every pain, and tear, and sigh
Be drown'd in endless night.
Beneath Thy balmy wing,
O Sun of righteousness!
Our happy souls shall sit and sing
The wonders of Thy grace.
Nor shall the radiant day,
So joyfully begun,
In evening shadows die away
Beneath the setting sun.
