Victory
Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #31b (1845) Hymnal Title: The Minstrel of Zion First Line: Come, ghastly death, and lay me low Refrain First Line: Crying, victory! victory! Lyrics: 1 Come, ghastly death, and lay me low,
For I long to see that day;
I tremble not to meet thy blow,
For I long to see that day.
Chorus:
Crying victory! victory!
Vict'ry over death!
Crying victory! victory!
For I long to see that day.
2 My Saviour's hand hath drawn thy sting,
And I long to see that day,
When I shall vict'ry, vict'ry sing!
Oh I long to see that day. [Chorus]
3 The grave to me more pleasant seems,
For I long to see that day,
Than downy beds to weary limbs,
For I long to see that day. [Chorus]
4 I there shall lay me down to sleep,
And I long to see that day;
And Christ my dust shall safely keep;
Oh I long to see that day. [Chorus]
5 But oh! a brighter day shall rise,
And I long to see that day,--
Shall blaze o'er earth, and sea, and skies,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
6 That last great day of doom and dread,
And I long to see that day,
For which all other days were made,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
7 Then Christ shall come, and I shall fly,
And I long to see that day,
In triumph to his throne on high,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
8 His powerful voice shall rend my tomb,
And I long to see that day,
And starting I shall quit its gloom,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
9 Then shall I join the ransom'd throng,
And I long to see that day,
And vict'ry still shall be my song,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
10 The long white robe we all shall wear,
And I long to see that day,
And palms of vict'ry each shall bear,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
11 With harps in hand the host shall move,
And I long to see that day.
Up to Jerusalem above,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
12 Her pearly gates shall then unfold,
And I long to see that day,
When we shall walk her streets of gold,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
13 These eyes at length shall weep no more,
And I long to see that day;
All sufferings past, all sorrows o'er,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
14 The throne of light we then shall see,
And I long to see that day,
And shout eternal victory,
And I long to see that day. [Chorus]
