1 Better days are coming, when the truth shall make men free,
When the right shall conquer all the wrong that should not be,
When shall reign in glory, Jesus over land and sea,
Better days, brighter days, in that glad new time shall be!

Refrain:
Better days of glory bright,
Better days of joy and light;
Better days when truth and right
Shall conquer ev’ry wrong.
Better days, when Christ shall be
King o’er ev’ry land and sea!
Then shall earth from sin be free
And sing the victor’s song.

2 Better days are coming, when through all the whole wide world,
Over ev’ry nation shall love’s banner be unfurled;
And the hosts of evil shall fore’er be backward hurled,
Better days, brighter days, in that glad new time shall be! [Refrain]

3 Better days are coming, when a human brotherhood
Shall join hands for Jesus in a common cause for good;
When for Christ and others we’ll be doing what we should,
Better days, brighter days, in that glad new time shall be! [Refrain]

4 Better days are coming, lift, oh, lift your eyes today;
Fields are white to harvest, we are near the better day,
When our Lord and Savior shall forevermore hold sway;
Better days, brighter days, in that glad new time shall be! [Refrain]
