Author: Charles P. Jones Hymnal: His Fullness Songs #180 (1977) First Line: There's a happy time a-coming, there's a happy time a-coming Refrain First Line: Let us wait and labor on Lyrics: 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]
