The Happy Crowning Day
Author: Eliza Edmunds Hewitt Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: There's an hour which no man knoweth Refrain First Line: Are you ready? ready? Lyrics: 1. There’s an hour which no man knoweth,
Nor the angels round the throne,
When the Lord shall come in glory from the sky;
All the saints shall rise to meet Him,
For He calleth for his own;
They shall hear the trumpet sounding by and by.
Refrain
Are you ready? ready?
Looking for the King?
Ready, while you labor, watch and pray?
Are you ready? ready?
Looking for the King?
Ready for the happy crowning day?
2. What a blessèd transformation,
In the twinkling of an eye,
When the mortal shall immortal life put on!
Those who love Him shall be like Him,
When He cometh from on high,
At the noontide, at the midnight, or at dawn. [Refrain]
3. Though our sins have been as scarlet,
Let us seek the streams that flow
From the cross that rose on Calv’ry’s rugged height;
He is able still to keep us,
And present us white as snow,
When He comes again, as clouds of dazzling light. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [There's an hour which no man knoweth] Text Sources: Gospel Praises for Use in Meetings of Christian Worship, by William Kirkpatrick et al. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Hall-Mack Company, 1899)
