The promised Day is dawning

Author: Mrs. Edna L. Park Hymnal: JL1884 #168 (1884) Person Name: Mrs. Edna L. Park Lyrics: 1 The promised day is dawning, With slow and steady light; God’s holy word is spreading O’er climes of darkest night; Yet, from those distant regions, We hear the plaintive cry For Bible truths, so teach them From sin and death to fly. 2 Our mission fields progressing, With grateful hearts we view; Great things have been accomplished, But much remains to do; We need more Christian workers, The cross of Christ to bear; And who, we ask, are willing The toil with us to share? 3 Remember, O remember The Saviour’s last command, Go forth and preach the gospel, Go forth to every land; Believe and trust the promise, And on its truth depend; Lo, I am with you alway, Yes, with you to the end. Scripture: Matthew 28:19 Languages: English Tune Title: [The promised day is dawning]

Refrain: Would you sit by the banks of the river, With the friends you have loved by your side? Would you join in the songs of the angels? Then be ready to follow your guide. 2 Christians, behold the hill of Zion; See where our purest treasure lies; Work for the Lord, whate'er our trials, O be faithful, we shall win the prize; Crown'd with light in a mansion of beauty, We shall dwell with the pure and the blest; We shall sing with the faithful in glory, Where the weary for ever shall rest. [Refrain] 3 We're passing on with eager longing, Soon we shall reach the swelling tide; Jesus will bear us safely over, We shall anchor on the other side; Saved by grace, to His kingdom exalted, When the billows of Jordan are passed, We shall sing with the friends we have cherished, Glory, glory, we're home, home at last.
