Text:Is It the Crowning Day?
Author:George Walker Whitcomb
Tune:[Jesus may come today]
Composer:Charles H. Marsh

183. Is It the Crowning Day?

1 Jesus may come to-day,
Glad day! Glad day!
And I would see my Friend;
Dangers and troubles would end
If Jesus should come to-day.

Chorus:
Glad day! Glad day!
Is it the crowning day?
I'll live for to-day, nor anxious be,
Jesus my Lord I soon shall see;
Glad day! Glad day!
Is it the crowning day?

2 I may go home to-day,
Glad day! Glad day!
Seemeth I hear their song;
Hail to the radiant throng!
If I should go home to-day. [Chorus]

3 Why should I anxious be?
Glad day! Glad day!
Lights appear on the shore,
Storms will affright nevermore,
For He is "at hand" to-day. [Chorus]

4 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 to-day. [Chorus]
