180. There's a Happy Time A-coming

1 There's a happy time a-coming, there's a happy time a-coming,
When oppressors shall no longer sit on high.
When the proud shall be as stubble, for their sins receiving double;
There's a happy time a-coming by and by.

Refrain:
Let us wait and labor on,
Soon the vict'ry will be won,
Soon our suff'ring will be done,
There's a happy time a-coming by and by.

2 Lo, the Lord will come from heaven on the clouds with thunder riven,
And the angel host will follow in His train;
He'll redeem the world from sadness, and His servants fill with gladness
When in power He shall come to earth again. [Refrain]

3 Let us wait and labor, brother, loving, helping one another,
Walking meekly in the laws of God most high;
Let us bear reproach and sorrow, 'twill be better on tomorrow–
There's a happy day a-coming by and by. [Refrain]
