Author: Geo. J. French Hymnal: The Golden Sheaf #116 (1902) First Line: Oh, cheering gleams of coming day Refrain First Line: Sound out the tidings far and near Lyrics: 1 Oh, cheering gleams of coming day, When earth's dark night of death and tears Forever shall be done away For life and joy, when Christ appears. Chorus: Sound out the tidings far and near, Let every nation witness have, That all who will the warning hear, May in Christ's glory share and live. 2 Lift up your heads, rejoice and sing, For your redemption draweth near; We soon shall see our promised King, And rise to meet him int he air. [Chorus] 3 That city fair, like bride adorned, The saints shall hide from God's fierce ire, When all that's evil shall be burned In earth's great purifying fire. [Chorus] 4 Down to the earth all glorified, That city with her ransomed throng Shall come, and Christ who for them died, Shall hear them sing the new, "new song." [Chorus] 5 O sinner, will you not repent, While mercy's door is open wide, And in that city represent A portion of our Saviour's bride? [Chorus] Tune Title: [Oh, cheering gleams of coming day]
