That the day of the Lord is at hand,
The light of His glorious presence
Is flooding the beautiful land.
Chorus:
O come blessed day of salvation,
To all people and kindred and tongue,
And then shall the sweetest of praises
To our Jesus forever be sung.
The brightness of glory is shining
With a steady and powerful ray;
And where the dark shadows were thickest,
The sunshine illumines the day.
The light of the world is unfolding,
Where the rapturous visions arise;
The forelights of splendor are pouring,
From mansions of gold in the skies.

=============
For the first seventeen years of his life Charles Hutchinson Gabriel (b. Wilton, IA, 1856; d. Los Angeles, CA, 1932) lived on an Iowa farm, where friends and neighbors often gathered to sing. Gabriel accompanied them on the family reed organ he had taught himself to play. At the age of sixteen he began teaching singing in schools (following in his father's footsteps) and soon was acclaimed as a fine teacher and composer. He moved to California in 1887 and served as Sunday school music director at the Grace Methodist Church in San Francisco. After moving to Chicago in 1892, Gabriel edited numerous collections of anthems, cantatas, and a large number of songbooks for the Homer Rodeheaver, Hope, and E. O. Excell publishing companies. He composed hundreds of tunes and texts, at times using pseudonyms such as Charlotte G. Homer. The total number of his compositions is estimated at about seven thousand. Gabriel's gospel songs became widely circulated through the Billy Sunday-Homer Rodeheaver urban crusades.
