12754. A Great Day In Zion

1 Oh! what a great day in Zion ’twill be—
When over the river
We safely have crossed;
We’ll meet our dear friends,
Our loved ones we’ll see,
Unknown to the world that is lost.

Refrain:
What a great day in Zion ’twill be—
When we have crossed o’er Jordan’s swift tide,
Our voices will blend with angels in glee,
While hovering by His dear side.

2 Oh! what a great day in Zion ’twill be—
When souls shall be happy
As never before;
From heartaches and sorrow we shall be free,
When safely we land on yon shore. [Refrain]

3 Oh! what a great day in Zion ’twill be—
’Mid sounding of trumpets,
With harp in our hand;
With angels of light, the glories we’ll see—
Of Heaven, the paradise land. [Refrain]
