Author: Wilhelm Andreas Wexels, 1797-1866; George Alfred Taylor Rygh, 1860-1943 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #197 (1958) Lyrics: 1 O happy day when we shall stand
Amid the heavenly throng,
And sing with hosts from every land
The new celestial song,
The new celestial song.
2 O blessed day! From far and near
The servants of the Lord
Shall meet the ransomed children there
Who heard God's saving word,
Who heard God's saving word. A-men.
3 O what a mighty, rushing flood
Of love without surcease
Shall surge about the throne of God,
In joy and endless peace!
4 Lord, may thy bounteous grace inspire
Our hearts to watch and pray,
That we may join the heavenly choir
Upon that glorious day.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Contemplation; The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Church Worship - The Close of Service Languages: English Tune Title: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN
