O What A Day Is Coming

Author: Henry Ostrom Appears in 4 hymnals Refrain First Line: ’Twill surely come Lyrics: 1 O what a day is coming, Swift o’er the hills of time! My soul to meet its glory, Sets all her bells a-chime; What woes will soon be lighted, What solace draweth near; What wrongs will soon be righted, What mysteries made clear! Refrain: ’Twill surely come, It draweth nigh; Its glorious dawn Lights up the sky; ’Twill surely come, It draweth nigh; ’Tis coming by and by. 2 When wide as ocean billows Shall flow the waves of peace, Till man to man is brother, And bitterness shall cease; And, as the incense rises, At morn and eventide, Faith reaps her vast surprises, Where doubt and fear have died. [Refrain] 3 O day of God and manhood, Break o’er these clouded hills, Shine on our rest and labor Till earth with Heaven thrills; Give loyal love and duty, Give rapture for our tears, And shine in golden beauty A million, million years. [Refrain] 4 O what a day is coming, When men with angels vie To cause Jehovah’s praises To sound thro’ earth and sky! When longest friends are greeted, When strangers cease to roam, When man, his task completed, With Jesus rests at home. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O what a day is coming]

Ring in the dawn of Easter morn, Beneath the springtime sky. 2 Bloom, lilies, on your slender stems To crown the day like diadems, And lifting up your petals white, Make Easter altars glad and bright. While ring so clear, from far and near, The bells in steeple high, And glad hearts raise their song of praise Beneath the springtime’s sky.

Refrain: Then why are you doubtful, young friends? Which road of these two should you take? Oh, think of the life that depends Upon the decision you make. 2 The witnesses gather around, And earnestly, tremblingly wait To see who among us have found The way to the beautiful gate. The evil ones also are here, And point to the way which is broad; Belovèd, whate’er may appear, That way leads to death’s dark abode. [Refrain] 3 Oh, where are you going, young friends? Which road are you choosing to take? The Savior in mercy descends; Choose rightly for His own dear sake; ’Tis only with Him we can go; We must cling alone to His hand; But He will lead past every foe, Safe, safe to His heavenly land.

Christ In The Bands Of Death Was Laid

Author: Martin Luther ; Arthur T. Russell Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Christ in the bands of death was laid, For our transgressions given: He rose: the way He open made To life, the life of Heaven. Therefore we will now rejoice, And praise our God with thankful voice, And raise our hallelujah! Hallelujah! 2 By none of all the sons of men Could death’s dark realm be shaken: Sin made our strength all weak and vain: All have of guilt partaken. Thus came death upon us all, And bound the fallen world in thrall Beneath his dread dominion. Hallelujah! 3 But Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, Hath in our stead descended: O’er death our Lord the victory won, When He transgression ended. He destroyed death’s power and claim, And left to death an empty name: Away his sting has taken. Hallelujah!
