Crowning Day, No. 6 ‎#147

147. When the Great Day Comes

1 “Come, ye blessed of my Father,
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you;”
Thus will the Master say to His servants,
Who unto Him heave been faithful and true.

When the great day comes,
When the great day comes,
Will you be ready?
Will you be ready when the great day comes?

2 “Come, ye blessed of my Father.”
Blest words of redemption complete and sure;
How they will thrill the souls that shall hear them
With praise ecstatic and love ever pure.

When the great day comes,
When the great day comes,
Will you be ready?
Will you be ready when the great day comes?

3 “Come, ye blessed of my Father,”
I know this glad welcome will ring for me,
If I am faithful, loving and patient,
Bearing the cross till the crown makes me free.

When the great day comes,
When the great day comes,
May we be ready
May we be ready when the great day comes.
