IS IT THE CROWNING DAY?
"When the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory
that will never fade away." 1 Peter 5:4
Words: Henry Ostrom, 1910, alt. Dr. Ostrom wrote under the pseudonym
"George Walker Whitcomb," because he felt freer to use the hymn in
evangelistic meetings if he didn't draw attention to himself as the
author.
Music: Charles H. Marsh, 1910.
Jesus may come today
Glad day, glad day!
And I would see my Friend;
Dangers and troubles would end
If Jesus would come today.
Refrain
Glad day, glad day!
Is it the crowning day?
I'll live for today, nor anxious be;
Jesus, my Lord I soon shall see.
Glad day, glad day!
Is it the crowning day?
I may go home today
Glad day, glad day!
It seems I hear their song;
Hail to the radiant throng!
If I should go home today.
Refrain
Why should I anxious be?
Glad day, glad day!
Lights appear on the shore,
Storms will affright nevermore,
For He is "at hand" today.
Refrain
Faithful I'll be today,
Glad day, glad day!
And I will freely tell
Why I should love Him so well,
For He is my all today.
