The Day of Christ (Miller)

Come

day of Christ’s do­min­ion

Day of ab­ound­ing light;

When I on joy­ous pin­ion

To Him shall take my flight.

Day when in clouds and glo­ry

He

in His might ap­pears;

Then I’ll forget the sto­ry

Of ma­ny wea­ry years.

Day when the souls re­turn­ing

Their erst­while homes shall claim;

And hearts with strange joy burn­ing

Shall praise His joy­ous name.

Day when death

sin and sor­row

Beneath His feet are trod;

Oh! hast­en that glad to­mor­row

Dear

lov­ing Fa­ther—God.

Day when

no more to sev­er

Our Sav­ior we shall greet;

To be with Him for­ev­er

Oh! por­tion rich and sweet.
