When Shall I See the Day?

When shall I see the day

That ends my woes?

When shall I vic­to­ry gain

Over all my foes?

When shall the trum­pet sound

That calls the ex­ile home?

The grand Sab­ba­tic year

When will it come?

A crown of glo­ry bright

By faith I see

In yon­der realms of light

Prepared for me;

O

may I faith­ful prove

And keep the prize in view

And thro’ the storms of life

My way pur­sue.

Jesus

be Thou my guide

My steps at­tend;

O

keep me near Thy side;

Be Thou my friend;

Be Thou my shield and sun

My Sav­ior and my guard

And

when my work is done

My great re­ward.

O

how I long to see

That hap­py day

When sor­row

sin

and pain

Shall flee away;

When all the heav’n­ly tribes

Shall find their long sought home—

The Ju­bi­lee of Heav’n

When will it come?
