The Day Is Nigh

There are ma­ny calls to war

There are ban­ners wav­ing high

Zion’s hosts

arise from far and near!

Throng ye to the bat­tle front

Halt ye not up­on the way

For the King of Light shall soon ap­pear!

Onward to the fray

Trusting God to help us day by day.

Ever on­ward as we sing

To the glo­ry of the Lord our king.

Weapons formed against the Church

Shall not pros­per

saith the Lord

’Gainst the light that shin­eth as the sun;

But the glo­ri­ous Church of God

Onward moves from day to day

And will pros­per while the ag­es run.

Zion loved of the Lord

Lift thy voice and cry aloud

For the day of tri­umph soon shall come.

Soon the night will pass away

Soon will dawn the per­fect day

And the ran­somed shall be ga­thered home.
