Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8254 Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The day is fast approaching,
By prophets long foretold,
When all shall dwell together,
One Shepherd, and one fold.
2 When every senseless idol
Shall to the bats be thrown,
And every prayer be offered
To God in Christ alone.
3 When Jew and Gentile meeting
From many a distant shore
Shall, round one altar kneeling,
One common Lord adore.
4 When all that now divides us
Shall wholly pass away,
Like shadows of the morning,
Before the blaze of day.
5 When war shall be no longer,
And strife and tumult cease,
And earth become the kingdom
Of Christ, the Prince of Peace.
6 The long expected dawning
Breaks with its cheering ray;
Already morning brightens,
And shadows flee away.
7 O blessèd day of triumph,
That cheers the watchers on,
To pray, and hope, and labor,
Till the dark night be gone. Languages: English Tune Title: CARMINA
