1. O how glorious will be that great morning
When Christ Jesus returns to be adored.
When the nations as sisters and as brothers
Join to welcome the coming of the Lord.

Chorus:
For the brilliance of that dawn
will outshine the brightest sun.
All its heat and light give way
to God’s never ending day.
No more weeping will remain,
no more grief and no more pain.
For at last Jesus Christ, the Lamb of heaven
‘throned in mercy, forevermore will reign!

2. How we wait for that great glorious morning
When the God of love comes for us to greet;
When the fragrance of Christ will bathe our senses
in the rose light of dawn so rich and sweet.

3. On that day, ev’ry true faithful Christian,
Each a worker who gladly sacrificed,
Like the Bride all adorned to meet her Bridegroom,
Will rejoice in the loving arms of Christ.
